I have created a WiX Installer, installed it on a test machine, and then
created a patch for it. When running the patch, instead of updating the
software it is taking me to the remove, repair dialog. I can't figure
out what I have done incorrectly so hopefully you can help me.
Here is the process I did...
1. Created the original installer and installed it successfully
2. Changed the package ID GUID and rebuilt the installer.
3. Created Admin images of both the original and new installer and
placed them in the RTM and Update folders respectively.
4. Created the PCP file below...ran candle, light and msimsp to
create my patch. It was created successfully and the msimsp log looked
correct (included the proper change files)
5. Took the patch file and attempted to install it on the same
machine as step 1 above.
6. The patch attempted to uninstall the software installed in step
1.
I must have a problem with my GUID's but I am not sure which ones to
change at this point. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hopefully, my PCP is mostly correct and can help others that may be
attempting to create one. It at least compiles....
