The transforms in patches usually only apply to a single baseline. In your
case, you chose your RTM as your baseline. A patch can carry multiple
transforms but you will need to include both in the patch if you want your
patch to apply to both scenarios.
The other option is to carry the single transform and set the transform
validation bits to say that the transform applies to 1.0.2000 and earlier.

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.

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!
Ning
