In my defence Bob I wrote my patching code when I was using WiX 2.0 thus the only method available to me was the PatchWiz method. When I moved over to using WiX 3.0 I looked at the Pyro method as the idea of using purely WiX appealed but as time isn't infinite when software releases are concerned I had to go with what I had already working.

Until it doesn't and PatchWiz error messages are useless for diagnosing the problem... -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
