I did a quick diff of the 2 wxs files. The changes appear to be in a component whose keypath doesn't change. I think, by default, in Wix v3+ the first file/registry key in a component is taken to be the keypath unless one is specified explicitly. Unless the component's keypath changes, the component won't be reinstalled. This is one reason 1 file per component is recommended - you don't need to bump the version of unchanged files to get your changed files updated.

I find it in the diff file in various locations, but it does not update even when I "force" an update: ... -<row sourceLineNumber="C:\dev\TabwareInstalls\databasefiles.wxi*47" sectionId="wix.section.3/wix.section.3" op="modify"><field>file_twdatabase_11</field><field>comp_twdatabase_0</field> <field>zzwinact.txt</field><field modified="yes">146866</field><field/><field/><field>512</field><field>48</fie ld></row> ... -<row sourceLineNumber="C:\dev\TabwareInstalls\databasefiles.wxi*47" sectionId="wix.section.3/wix.section.3"><field>file_twdatabase_11</field><fie ld/><field/><field/><field>dir_DATABASE_basedata_1</field><field>1</field><fi eld previousData="c:\8.2.0.x\Pro00\DATABASE\basedata\zzwinact.txt">c:\8.2.0.x\Pro 01\DATABASE\basedata\zzwinact.txt</field><field/><field>-1</field><field>0</f ield><field>0</field><field/><field/><field/><field/></row> ... The database files are added to the proejct via the fragment. This is why I am wondering if the fragment, built by paraffin, is not being recognized in the pyro process. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Fragments-and-P atch-generation-tp6972320p6974348.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users SDL PLC confidential, all rights reserved.
