When I double click on my msp file I get the welcome dialog, followed by the maintenance dialog, giving me the choice to change, repair or remove. Choosing repair or change, will cause the patch to show up in add/remove programs, but the text file does not show the changes that I made.
Problem 1: Why do I get the maintenance dialog? I would like to just double click the msp file and then have the patch be applied. Is there any way to do this? Problem 2: the changes aren't being applied. How do I fix this? I'm using wix version 3.0.4429.0 To create my patch I'm using the following method: 1. Compile original msi 2. Change a text file that is included in the msi. 3. Compile new msi 4. Create a transform between the two msi's. torch.exe -p -xi original\Product.wixpdb Product.wixpdb -out Patch\Diff.Wixmst 5. Build the patch pyro.exe Patch\Patch.WixMsp -out Patch\Patch.msp -t RTM Patch\Diff.wixmst here is my patch.wxs file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> <Patch AllowRemoval="yes" Manufacturer="Clearview Software" DisplayName="Test Patch" Description="Small Update Patch" Classification="Update" MinorUpdateTargetRTM="yes"> <Media Id="5000" Cabinet="RTM.cab"> <PatchBaseline Id="RTM" /> </Media> <PatchFamilyRef Id="TestPatchFamily" /> </Patch> <Fragment> <PatchFamily Id="TestPatchFamily" Version="5.0.907.0" Supersede="yes"> <ComponentRef Id="test.txt"/> </PatchFamily> </Fragment> </Wix> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
