I gave up on msimsp/PatchWiz as soon as I had a viable alternative. It is too big of a not-very-well-documented black hole.
Having said that, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370346(VS.85).aspx says: "The MsiPatchOldAssemblyFile table and MsiPatchOldAssemblyName table are not generated automatically by PatchWiz. The update package specified in the UpgradedImages table is required to contain these tables for the patch to have this information." I don't know where/how those tables are being automatically generated. Possibly from the MsiAssemblyFile and MsiAssemblyName tables in the baseline package used in the TargetImages table? I'm not sure. I'll dig into it more, but I don't know what time I can put against it right now... -----Original Message----- From: Igor Paniushkin [mailto:ipaniush...@sdl.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 8:28 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Patch with satellite assemblies in GAC Hi all, I'm trying to create patch (service pack) for one product and I have a problem with satellite assemblies (resources) which are installed in the GAC, they should be updated by patch. After applying a patch only one satellite assembly is updated, others are stayed not updated (old version). I checked MsiPatchOldAssemblyName and MsiPatchOldAssemblyFile tables in my patch and only one resource assembly is there (one component). Did somebody have the same issue? How to force msimsp to include all satellites assemblies? Best Regards, Igor SDL PLC confidential, all rights reserved.
