Windows Installer uses an API that is now called PatchAPI for the actual
"delta" compression. That API (along with its more modern replacement, which
Windows Installer does not natively support) is documented on this page:

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reply.
Any word on this? I did try Wix 3.5 but ran into (different) pyro

persevere with v3.5 given the age of v3.0, I can give it anoth
Delta patching has all sorts of issues. I honestly don't know the state of
delta patching in WiX v3.0 but my memory suggests that there were changes in
WiX v3.5 for delta patching. I'll have to ask Peter Marcu since he built
most of that system and doesn't hang out here.
