I tried to put the launch conditions in the patch.wxs's fragment but light.exe threw "Patches cannot contain the 'LaunchCondition' table.".
Is there a way to change the launch conditions using a pyro patch?

It looks like windows installer uses the V2 launch condition to launch the patch. However, if I use a patch made by Pyro.exe, it failed to patch with message "Uninstall is not supported". It looks like windows installer still uses the V1 launch condition so as to fail to launch the patch. How can I make the V2 launch condition be used for the Pyro patch? Below is my patch.wxs for the Pyro patch. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Patch AllowRemoval="yes" Classification="Update" > <Media Id="5000" Cabinet="patch1.cab"> <PatchBaseline Id="RTM"/> </Media> <PatchFamilyRef Id="PatchFamily"/> </Patch> <Fragment> <PatchFamily Id='PatchFamily' Version='1.0.0.0' Supersede='yes'> <ComponentRef Id="MyFileComponent"/> </PatchFamily> </Fragment> </Wix> Appreciate your help!
