Hi,

I'm creating a patch for an installer and don't want to embed the cab in the
.msp file.  From the Wix documentation it appears that if I'm going to do
that I need to set the Source attribute of the Media element.  So I've tried
that but it seems regardless of what I put in the source attribute it keeps
looking in the installation source directory for the cab file (giving an
error because the cab is located in the same directory as the .msp).

This is the first patch I've needed to create, and I'm still trying to
figure things out, so if anybody could offer any advice as to why this might
be happening it would be much appreciated.

I'm using Wix 3.0.4805.0 and the media element of the patch looks like the
following

<Media Id="5000" Cabinet="PATCH.cab"
Source="C:\packages001_pc\ears_godfather\dev\project\win\installer\build\patch0"
EmbedCab="no">
            <PatchBaseline Id="RTM"/>
        </Media>

Kind regards,

Dan
