You need to install the old installer as an admin install. This will place a stripped down version of the old msi along with its files uncompressed into a folder on your computer. Then you provide the stripped down version of the old msi to msimsp. I believe that there is a topic on Patch Building in the WiX help. You can try reading that as well.
