Hi Bob,
Yes that's our actual requirement. We want to update the target MSI
instead of building a new one. The actual scenario is:
We have few files which are not contained in the Target MSI. We
want to add these files in the target MSI using tool. We were able to do
this using WIX 1.0. Can the same be done using WIX 2.0? Say suppose we
just want to add three new file tags in the Target MSI & then try
building patch using this upgraded MSI as the Target MSI of the patch
creation process.
Thanks & Regards
Gaurav Tiwari

We tried updating an existing MSI using WIX 2.0 but I wasn't able to
find out the way to do it. Please suggest how we can update the existing
MSI. Is any such functionality is there in WIX 2.0.
Patches are based on the differences between two MSIs. You can try
building the upgrade version of your MSI with WiX v2, which supports
.NET assemblies, but it's likely to create a very different MSI which
might not produce a good patch. You might want to investigate additional
tooling to directly update a copy of your target MSI rather than trying
to build a new version of the MSI with a very different version of the
toolset.
