Thanks Blair. Yes, the patched MSI has the updated LaunchCondition.
I have the working infrastructure using MSIMSP.exe to create a patch. MSIMSP.exe includes all changes into the patch. The reason that I want to use Pyro.exe instead of MSIMSP.exe is that Pyro allows you to control which components you want to patch. This advantage will simplify our build process if we only want to patch some instead of all of the files. Therefore, there will be some components in PatchFamily section. Will this block patching Launch conditions using a Pyro patch? It looks like a condition element cannot exist in PatchFamily section or Fragment section or Patch section in below Patch.wxs. Appreciate your guidance. Lian -----Original Message----- From: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 11:35 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Override V1 launch condition using a patch made by pyro.exe Look at the patched msi in orca. It is possible that your change to the LaunchConditions table isn't included by pyro since you limit the changes that are in your patch family. To get all changes, no matter what fragment they came from, into your patch, your patch family shouldn't have any children at all (it defaults to all changes in the MSI). -----Original Message----- From: Lian Jiang [mailto:lji...@microsoft.com] Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 4:40 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Override V1 launch condition using a patch made by pyro.exe Hi, In V1, I have a launch condition: <Condition Message="Uninstall is not supported">REINSTALL or Not Installed</Condition> I want to override it with below condition in V2: <Condition Message="Uninstall is not supported"><![CDATA[NOT(REMOVE)]]></Condition> If I use a patch made by MSIMSP.EXE, it can be patched using "msiexec /update patch.msp" successfully. 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!
