I have now successfully created the patch file after using the admin
install of two compressed msi's.
I now face another issue in that the patch file does not update anything
on my target machine. The patch does not report any errors on execution
and completes successfully, but on checking the application there is no
change, neither is there a change in the version numbers on the files
that should have been updated.
The Patch WiX file I am using is listed below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";>

Can anyone help?
