Theres an answer in Peter Marcu's blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx#879001 6
which says the ID has to be above the last sequence number of the *baseline* you are targetting, so it sounds like you are doing it right. -----Original Message----- From: Yan Sklyarenko [mailto:y...@sitecore.net] Sent: 16 December 2009 14:26 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Patch/Media/@Id question Hello WiX community, I have a simple question, just to make sure. When creating a patch, should I always change Patch/Media/@Id attribute between patches? For instance, I have Patch1.wxs, which is to be applied to RTM (baseline), and Patch2.wxs, which is to be applied to RTM+Patch1. In Patch1.wxs I have <Media Id="5000" ... />, and in Patch2.wxs I also have <Media Id="5000" ... />. It seems to work fine, but is it absolutely correct? The tutorial says this Id should be "larger than any Media/@Id found in the installation packages". By installation packages the base MSI is meant here, right? I made a conclusion that if Media/@Id in all my MSI packages of this product never reach 5000, than it is safe to put Patch/Media/@Id="5000" in every single patch of this product. Is it correct?
