You are correct, the MsiFileHash table is not populated for Setup and Deployment project msi's. From looking in the Patching code in WiX, it appears it will add the MsiFileHash entry for unversioned files into the transform for files that have changed when binding the transform into the patch.
Have you built a patch and observed the MsiFileHash entry being added to the msi? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wilson, Phil Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 9:40 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Building a patch in Visual Studio Visual Studio setups don't generate MsiFileHash entries for data files. Does WiX (well MsiFiler) populate these tables later? This is usually an issue when generating patches because the original install source is more likely to be required when the patch is applied. See MSDN topic "Preventing a Patch from Requiring Access to the Original Installation Source".

You can however build patches out of the MSI's it produces using wix v3's admin image patching features. Generate an admin image of your baseline and upgrade msi's. Call torch with -ax and the msi's in the admin layouts. Then follow the wix patch building process from there. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Schuett, Michael Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 10:08 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Building a patch in Visual Studio Is it possible to build a patch inside VS2005?
