Re: [WiX-users] Patch requires source (error 1706)

This is not documented anywhere that I can see. Can you provide a source for this problem? The thing is, a major upgrade patch is an exact match for our requirement to allow updates to the latest released version of our application without requiring a download of the whole installer. Do you h

Great thanks for the reply Mike, that makes sense. So could this be classified as a bug in heat.exe? It sounds like heat should be limiting the Component ID to a length of 35 for merge modules? Aka when the "-template:module" flag is used. I did a search through the bugs database for heat

Components in merge modules have the package GUID appended to the component ID so there isn't a clash if the same component ID is used in multiple merge modules, and no clash between the merge modules and the main installer. It's a way to make the component ID unique. The same happens for a number

Make sure that the internal name of the assembly matches the file name. If you renamed the assembly externally but its internal identity is the original name it won't install.

I'm suprised that you would have to force the existence of the ListBox table in the first place. ISHNMET drops most tables from the resultant MSI when they contain no table data, but it leaves some tables like ListBox because they could be needed at install time. After all, everyone has a UI
