Two (sets of) questions:

1. Does your PatchFamily have any children or is it empty? If it has
children, what are they?

2. Please look in your .wixmst file for the <table name="PublishComponent">
element and look for the row where the category is modified. Do you see the
new value in a field of that row? Do you see the old value in the
previousData attribute of the field? And do you see an attribute named "op"
with a value of "modify" in that row?

Just trying to isolate if the change didn't get picked up by torch or if it
was being ignored by pyro.

Subject: [WiX-users] Category not updated with patch

Hi all,

I have a component that contains both a category and a file.  This is a new
component that didn't exist in the old MSI.  I've added this component to my
patch, and the file is getting updated correctly but the category isn't
touched.  I used Orca and applied my msp to the original MSI and verified
that the "PublishComponent" table does not get modified with the new
category.  How can I patch a category with an msp?  I understand that if I
do this my MSP can't be uninstallable.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Jeff
