The WIXPDB files only contain the files if they were built using "bound" or "binary" WIXOUT/WIXLIB files (which you can get using light's (or lit's) -bf command-line argument). Files that light incorporates directly into an MSI are never "bound" to the WIXPDB.
Alternately you can write a BinderFileManager (which you place into a WixExtension you pass to light) where you override the one of the ResolveFile() methods (use the easiest one that works for your setup).

Hi all, I'm following the example http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_patching.htm to create a patch. Everything works fine on test binaries built on my local computer. However, I got "error PYRO0001: Could not find file" when I changed to use released msi file built by team's build machine. In the patch.proj, I have <OldVersionPath>\\rel\Archive\Product\DailyBuilds.1.0.1381.0.110412-2317\Rel ease\Bin\en-us</OldVersionPath> <NewVersionPath>\\rel\Archive\Product\DailyBuilds.1.0.1383.0.110427-1815\Rel ease\Bin\en-us</NewVersionPath<file:///\\rel\Archive\Product\DailyBuilds.1.0 .1383.0.110427-1815\Release\Bin\en-us%3c\NewVersionPath>> <Exec Command="$(WixToolPath)candle.exe -wx -arch x64 -o $(ObjDir)\Bin\x64\Patch.wixobj Patch.wxs" /> <Exec Command="$(WixToolPath)light.exe -o $(ObjDir)\Bin\en-us\Patch_x64.wixmsp -cultures:en-us -loc Strings_en_US.wxl $(ObjDir)\Bin\x64\Patch.wixobj " /> <Exec Command="$(WixToolPath)torch.exe -p -xi $(OldVersionPath)\Setup_x64.wixpdb $(NewVersionPath)\Setup_x64.wixpdb -o $(ObjDir)\Bin\en-us\diff_x64.wixmst" /> <Exec Command="$(WixToolPath)pyro.exe -wx $(ObjDir)\Bin\en-us\Patch_x64.wixmsp -o $(OutputPath)\en-us\Patch_x64.msp -t RTM $(ObjDir)\Bin\en-us\diff_x64.wixmst -sa -sf -sh" /> The build reports error pyro.exe : error PYRO0001: Could not find file 'C:\Product\161\Atlanta\DailyBui lds\Sources.binaries.Release\bin\ClientShared.dll'. Exception Type: System.IO.FileNotFoundException Stack Trace: at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileInfo.get_Length() at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.BinderFileManager.CompareFiles(Stri ng targetFile, String updatedFile) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.CopyTransformData(Output out put, FileRowCollection allFileRows) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.BindDatabase(Output output, String databaseFile) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output, String f ile) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Pyro.Run(String[] args) Seems it is looking for some files on the build machine ('C:\Product\161\Atlanta\DailyBuilds\...), but every time we finish the build, we copy the outputs to share folders like \\rel\archive\<file:///\\rel\archive\>.... Isn't the old and new MSIs/wixpdbs contains all the binaries required? Why it still requires the files on build machine? How could I make it look for another folder (the shared folder) instead?
