Thanks for the help but I still can't seem to find out why the components added
in the 1st patch (and should still be in the second) are not there in the patch.
Details:
The original installer has 454 files. Version 1.0.0.1372
1st Patch: Small Update (QFE) -
Added 1 new directory and 6 new files into the directory. Each one is
in its own component so 1 have a total of 7 new components.
The start sequence number is 2000 just to be safe.
Allow removal = false
Supersede = (tried both true and false)
Sequence="1.0.0.1500"
2nd Patch: Minor Update -
Currently only modified 1 of the new files that was added in the 1st
patch.
The start sequence number is 3000 just to be safe.
Allow removal = true
Supersede = true
Sequence="1.0.1.1600"
I use the same patch family for both patch installers, and use the ProductCode
from the RTM version.
The msimsp log file from the 2nd patch shows the modified file being picked up
and no other errors.
Using Orca I verified that the Component Id's between the 1st and 2nd
installers match.
So how do I go about determining why I get a 2771 error? The Component Id it
complains about is the id of the directory that was added in the 1st patch.
Thanks - Tom

I'm no patch expert so I'm just guessing now. I'd focus on the component rule
violation - that might be the reason the files aren't included in patch2
(although I'd also verify the sequence start number in patch2 higher than any
file table sequence number in the RTM and patch1). Check if any component
guids change between any of the 3 MSIs - they shouldnt. Im not certain if
your patch should be set to supercede the previous one.
I hope that gives you a few things to try.

I still need help.
The 1st patch is created by using msimsp between the RTM and patched version
is around 35MB and contains the new components and UI sequence items I added
and works as expected.
The second patch is created by using the same procedure diffing the 2nd
patched version (which is identical to the 1st patch version with a couple of
updated files) with the 1st patched version. When inspecting the 2nd patch
msi (via orca) the new components are included but the generated msp file is
only 11KB. And when I try to run this patch with
MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES=1 I get a 2771 error and none of the new
components that were added in the 1st patch and are included in the 2nd are
listed in the log file.
Below is the Patch Creation file I used to create the 2nd patch (This is
almost identical to the one I used to create the first patch except the first
patch is a small update and does not allow removal since it adds a new
directory and files)

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Disallowing uninstallation of patch
One more piece of information. When I run the second patch I get the
following message for each component (1 per file) for each of the files that
were added in the first patch and are still part of the second patch.
Patch Supersedence: Component 'CompPatchedContentDir' is added by a
superseded patch and will become orphaned.
I looked at both the msi packages via Orca and the component exists in both
the 1st and 2nd patch msi's. Why does it say they will be orphaned?
I had tried this but when I run the second patch the UI sequence does not get
run. Any ideas why this would happen?

If you base the second patch on the RTM, itll need the new createfolder table
entries in case the first patch is never applied. You need to base the second
patch on the patched MSI (RTM + patch 1).

Subject: [WiX-users] Disallowing uninstallation of patch
Hi,
What I am trying to accomplish is to first install an unremovable Small
Update patch that adds new files into a new directory. (This works)
Next is to install a removable Minor Update patch that delivers new versions
of the files that were added in the first patch as well as modifications of
existing dlls etc... (This does not)
What I am getting is the following message in the msi log file:
Disallowing uninstallation of patch {D40C91BE-8619-426B-8B11-2AEA5106A767}
because it adds new entries to table CreateFolder
Even though these files were added in the first patch as well.
The first patch is set with AllowRemoval='no' and Supersede="no" and is built
against the RTM version.
The second patch is set with AllowRemoval='yes' and Supersede=" yes" and is
also built against the RTM version.
I had tried creating a small test installer and this same sequence seems to
work.
Thanks - Tom
