We've already upgraded the installer sources and built the MSI (using WIX 3.0) and wanted to know if we can release a patch (MSP) that targets the MSI (built using WIX 2.0). I know we can decide whether to ship it as a patch or minor upgrade or a major upgrade but to decide we wanted to know whether its even possible to do that using a patch or not and if there are any recommendations?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix 2.0 to Wix 3.0 Your question doesn't make sense. WiX 2.0 and WiX 3.0 are releases of the WiX toolset which you use to build MSIs (product installers) - WiX is not a product installer. To move from one to the other you just upgrade the WiX toolset on your build machine, following the instructions with the new release. Whether that's done by a patch or a minor upgrade (or, much more likely, a major upgrade or an uninstall/install) is decided by the team which creates the new release - you just do what the instructions tell you to do. Once you have the new version of WiX installed, you update your installer sources (.wxs files and relatives) to the new WiX schema. The wixcop tool in the new release should help a lot with these updates. > From: Anurag Pahwa [mailto:apa...@microsoft.com] > Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 2:13 PM > > Hi Guys, > > Our product installer currently is WIX 2.0 and we are > thinking of moving to Wix 3.0.
