Hi,

Is MSIMSP looking only at the AssemblyFileVersion of the files? I get a
patch that does not patching when the AssemblyFileVersion of original
and patched version are the same. Install log says for the most files
that only have new AssemblyVersion:
"MSI (s) (88:3C) [16:44:59:719]: The file represented by File table key
'ASSEMBLY.dll.AAAAAAA' has no eligible binary patches"
I did a change in one file to have something obvious. It says:
"...
MSI (s) (88:3C) [16:44:59:750]: Activating binary patch with sequence
10042 for file key EXECUTABLE.exe.AAAA
MSI (s) (88:3C) [16:44:59:750]: The file represented by File table key
EXECUTABLE.exe.AAAA' will be updated using the last binary patch and the
file on disk (if possible).
MSI (s) (88:3C) [16:44:59:750]: Chain for EXECUTABLE.exe. AAAA  starts
with the native source file.
MSI (s) (88:3C) [16:44:59:750]: Activating binary patch with sequence
10042 for file key EXECUTABLE.exe.AAAA
MSI (s) (88:3C) [16:44:59:750]: FALLBACK: The file represented by File
table key EXECUTABLE.exe.AAAA' will be updated using a chain of baseline
patches.
...
MSI (s) (88:3C) [16:44:59:763]: Baseline: EXECUTABLE.exe.AAAA not
touched in this transaction, verification required.
MSI (s) (88:3C) [16:44:59:763]: Baseline: Existing file
EXECUTABLE.exe.AAAA matches baseline from patch Native.
MSI (s) (88:3C) [16:44:59:763]: Caching EXECUTABLE.exe.AAAA from
C:\Program Files (x86)\COMPANY\ EXECUTABLE.exe for baseline 0
..."
The files does not get changed, although I really made a change to it.
Is there somewhere a thorough explanation how MSIMSP determines the
files to patch?
Thanks,
  Christoph
