Applying a patch consists of updating the view and repairing features. When applying the patch, you can set the REINSTALL property to the specific list of affected features, or use ALL which will reinstall all already installed features.
If you allow patch optimization, the service-related actions will be skipped, but your changes have to be limited to the set of tables in the following page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa370595.aspx -----Original Message----- From: Danny [mailto:zhuxian...@msn.cn] Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 6:54 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] [Wix-users]Patch and Services Hi all, I am creating a patch basing on previous released version msi and new version one, both include a service's install and start codes, The problem is the patch I created uninstalled previous services and installed the service again, even though the service file keep same with previous released version. Any ideas on why the patch includes the service operation? I am using wix 2.0 scripts for installer and msimsp.exe for patch generation.
