I believe the last digit of the version is ignored. You might have
better luck using 1.0.2020 instead. Just a hunch. Might be worth a try.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] QFE authoring after service pack release

 

Resend ...  Appreciate any pointers!   Thanks!

        Hello, 

         

        So our scenario is this

        1) Product RTM'ed (say version 1.0.1000) 

        2) We created and shipped a service pack 1  (say version
1.0.2000)

        3) Now we realize we need to ship a QFE (say version 1.0.2002) 

         

        So we created a QFE patch that is basically a diff between
versions 1.0.1000 and versions 1.0.2002 -- it tries to update 1 file to
version 1.0.2002.  

         

        Now this QFE patch works on a machine that only has the RTM
version installed, that 1 binary is updated to version 2002 as expected.
On a machine that has SP1 installed, it simply does nothing!  On the
verbose log, it shows that it's trying to update the file to version
2000, since version 2000 is already on the machine, it does nothing. 

         

        So my question is, should we author the QFE by diff'ing it to
the RTM CD, or diff'ing it to the SP1 CD? 

         

        Thank you for any input!
