Please install ORCA software. Then open your target image in ORCA. Then Transform-> View Patch-> Select your patch. The files that are to be patched will be shown as difference.
There are some rules for patch creation. If there is any change in components table or GUID of any components changed, then your patch will install nothing. Thanks, S. Preethi. -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Goetz [mailto:christoph.go...@giepa.de] Sent: Friday, May 13, 2011 5:45 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creating Patch Hi, I built my patch on msimsp. This patch does not work. It installs nothing even though he is 50 Mb big. I have kept to this page: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/patch_building.htm However, nothing seems to fall into the patch. I thought msimsp compares the two versions and adds only the changed data? Sometimes I add my code for the patch to do so. I hope you will find the error. I'm total beginner in programming the installation. <PatchCreation Id="{05008800-2944-4060-BB2D-A92F2F633DD3}" CleanWorkingFolder="yes" OutputPath=" patch.pcp" WholeFilesOnly="no" > <PatchInformation Description="Small Update Patch" Comments="Small Update Patch" Manufacturer="my company" ShortNames="yes" Languages="1033" Compressed="no" /> <PatchMetadata AllowRemoval="yes" Description="Small Update Patch" ManufacturerName=" my company " TargetProductName="file" MoreInfoURL="www.test.de" Classification="Update" DisplayName="Sample Patch"/> <Family Name="productname" DiskId="2" MediaSrcProp="Update" SequenceStart="5000"> <UpgradeImage SourceFile="Update.msi " Id="CEREC"> <TargetImage SourceFile="Product.msi " Order="1" Id="file" IgnoreMissingFiles="no" /> </UpgradeImage> </Family> Eingegebene Befehle by me: msiexec.exe /a "Product.msi" /qb TARGETDIR="C:\wix\1.0\admin" msiexec.exe /a "Update.msi" /qb TARGETDIR="C:\wix\1.1\admin" light.exe "Product.wixobj" -out "patch.pcp" msimsp.exe -s "patch.pcp" -p " patch.msp" -l " patch.log" Christoph -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Christoph Goetz [mailto:christoph.go...@giepa.de] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 12.

Betreff: Re: [WiX-users] Creating Patch You can't use Votive to build patches as there's no "patch" project type (or there wasn't last time I checked) which is why Visual Studio is erroring. Post your patch.wxs & the commands you're running which give you that error as the error & information you pasted is too vague to diagnose. I've built patches for years following that guide without problems using both WiX v3.0 & v3.5 & various versions of the Windows SDK from 6.0 up to the current 7.1.

I am just new in wix. I try to create a patch in wix. For this purpose I use the following page: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/patch_building.htm.
