I wrote an installer ABC.1.2.3.0.msi which installs the full product I then create ABC.1.2.3.1msi as a patch and to install it I have to run in command line
msiexec /i "ABC.1.2.3.1.msi" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus I put the above string in a ABC.cmd so that users can just run it by double clicking it. However, I notice that it requires the original ABC 1.2.3.0.msi in the same path of the ABC.1.2.3.1.msi Is this by design? And if so why? Also I tried ABC.1.2.3.2.msi and it only seem to need the original ABC 1.2.3.0.msi Then I tried to uninstall ABC.1.2.3.1.msi from Add or Remove programs And it correctly removes the file I patched (say mytest.dll) and left the rest alone However, if I reapply the patch, the mytest.dll file does not get installed?
