Correct. The target and source installs used to create the patch were identical except for about 5 files. No components or features were added or removed.
I believe I received a warning displaying the files were different but the version #'s were the same so no action would be take.

There are reasons this will happen, mainly removing components, all things being equal. Phil Wilson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lyle Hollenbeck Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 12:50 PM To: WIX Users List Subject: [WiX-users] File Version for patches Can some one explain how file version numbers relate to patches? My original file version number is 5.10.1040.08 and the new file version number is 5.10.1040.09 and the patch did not make any changes. If I change my new file version number to 5.10.1041 the changes take. This is confusing to me since I had come across a page in the MSDN that said the "ProductVersion" only used the first three positions but this did not apply to file version numbers. Unfortunately I can no longer find the page that had this statement.
