Thanks for the information. I have an application with more than 1000 files. Even though the next version can have changes in several files, I want to build patches for selected 2 or 3 files. Since number of files to ignore is more I am not sure we can use the solution of "explicitly list files to ignore in the UpgradedFilesToIgnore table".
Is there any other option in WiX 2.0?

In WiX v2, you're using PatchCreation packages, so you're limited to what MsiMsp gives you. I believe it includes all changed resources, but you can explicitly list files to ignore in the UpgradedFilesToIgnore table. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
