The argument after -ax should be a directory path, not a file path. After that, youll need the paths of 2 msis (old and new). It looks like youre missing the -ax argument value. Example: torch.exe -t patch -xo -ax "%ROOT%\Binaries" -p "%ROOT%\Base\fso.msi" "%ROOT%\Target\fso.msi" -out "%ROOT%\Work\Diff.Wixmst"
