I'm not a patching expert, but there is a feature in pyro that allows you to filter out Fragments and target only the portions of the install that you want.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] One patch to rule them all I assume the patch fails because it was created with an installer set (both base[v1] and upgrade[v2]) that had a different DLL than the current installer being used on the machine. It all comes down to me being able to ask WiX to please ignore the DLL and just patch my other files, no matter how different the DLL is from the V2 or V1 of my installer the patch was created from. I have other ugly/non-professional/hack non-WiX solutions, but getting that code reviewed is an ugly prospect. -----Original Message----- From: Chad Miles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 8:15 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] One patch to rule them all Could you baseline a Patch Target msi and patch off that? I'm not big on patching, but it sounds like the msp is baselined and not the msi. I'd definitely take someone else's word though. Just an opening thought. If you want it included no matter what (as you stated), maybe script based on file version?
