Merge Modules mess up patchwiz (aka: PCP) patching because their file
sequencing is extremely limited. In fact, there is a tool called "melt.exe"
in the WiX toolset that converts a Merge Module in to a .wixlib to make it
more consumable for patching.
Sequencing is calculated at the Product level.
Thanks Rob.
Could you please give me more details on how this behaves? Is this sequence
no maintained at module level (we have few merge modules in our product) or
at Disk level or Product level.
Also with this patch group, do we need any changes in the PCP file?
Thanks

WiX toolset doesn't expose a method to control the sequence. You can cause
new files to be added to the end of the sequence using the PatchGroup
element. This is important if you use the old MSI patchwiz tools to create
patches (becuase the MSI tools can't handle sequence changes, pyro doesn't
have
Hi,
I woluld like to know how we can control the file sequence no in the File
table. If I add newly added file element (with new componet) at the end in
next version of MSI. Still it is not getting sequence no at the end. This
breaks the patches.
Eg. I've a merge module with 50 file. we are using
4 matches
