I would agree that this is a problem –
but since the contents are different, the files should be included as part of
the msp. In fact later down in the log it even includes the line: “Including
entire file: 'C:\build\******\latest\.\PFiles\******\bin\******.dll';” Basically, the file is included but never
installed during the patching process. When you run msiexec for patches, you
have the REINSTALLMODE options to tell windows what to do (i.e. reinstall
everything, version > current version, version >= current version, only
missing, etc). To make things more interesting, I have
been using WholeFilesOnly=”yes” for the PatchCreation element in
the wxs file. When I change this flag to no, the files get patched just
fine. This technically solves the problem, but I am still confused as to
why… Initially I was being pessimistic and just including the whole
file. How and why does a binary file patch differ compared to simply
including the whole file? I also have found a bug for the
PatchCreation.CleanWorkingFolder attribute. This maps to the DontRemoveTempFolderWhenFinished
value in the Properties table of the pcp file. If I set CleanWorkingFolder=”yes”
then DontRemoveTempFolderWhenFinished becomes 1 when it should be 0 (values are
opposite). From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

be including the dlls. For the cmdline to apply the patch I am using: msiexec /update

problem: you should change (increase) file version to make patch work properly. |
