Thanks for the answer, Peter. Actually, my concern was whether it is ok to leave this value constant. If I don't have to keep it the same, this means it is still ok if I keep it the same. :) Moreover, I've just thought that embedding cabs into the patch eliminates the root of the question.

MSI doesnt require that you match the names, as described here http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2006/05/19/file-sequencing-and-how- files-are-located.aspx However, Ive a note in my own patch wxs files saying that you do need to match them, but I dont know why. It could be a leftover from my earlier patching attempts but I wonder if you need to match them up to use wix patching tools. -----Original Message----- From: Yan Sklyarenko [mailto:y...@sitecore.net] Sent: 11 December 2009 10:18 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Does the name of the Media/@Cabinet matter forsubsequent patches? Hello WiX community, The simple question (I hope) for those who made friendship with patches. Does the name of the Cabinet attribute (Media/@Cabinet) matter for subsequent patches? For instance, I have a baseline, then build one patch, which specifies MyPatch.cab in that attribute. The next patch (with Supersede set to either Yes or No) specifies the same name. Will this affect the patching process (conflicts, overwriting the cab, whatever)? I have no idea how to test this quickly, without running lots of tests. Maybe someone knows. Please, share.
