Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How does patching decide which files to includein msp? 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.
