I have just installed Umbraco 4.7.2 with Courier 2.6, and I am getting this message when I am creating a revision, sending it to my live server (which is running the same versions) and then pressing "compare and install"
"This revision does not have a compare file, so you cannot compare
this revion. Re-package the revision to recreate the comparison file"
System.Exception: This revision does not have a compare file, so
you cannot compare this revion. Re-package the revision to recreate the
comparison file

Hi Per... thanks for your reply. I had a look and noticed something so have had a play around and here is what I've concluded.
When you are in the source instance and you transfer a revision to the target instance, everything works fine and you have the comparison working.
The problem arises when you are in the target instance and transfer a revision to your current instance from the source instance. It creates a revision with the format
Revision Name from Location Name
When I checked for the *.couriercompare file in this revision, it exists but it is named Revision Name.couriercompare . Changing the name to match the local revision name fixes this. So either the revision needs to maintain its name during transfer and risk a clash of names, or the compare file needs to follow the same renaming convention.
This revision does not have a compare file

Hi Jimmy, did you get past this problem? I am getting the same problem between two local instances.
Could you check the generated revisions. and see if it contains a *.couriercompare file?
