Hi, As far as I understand the pyro command takes the patch.wxs and the diff file generated with the torch command. The problem is that the diff file is generated from 2 wixpdb files and I don't know how to make my patch.wxs compatible... the right ID to pass has something to do with the diff file, the example works fine, but when I use the same technique on my wixpdb's I get the error mentioned below.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] creating a WIX small or minor patch That is a example from one of our released products. The Id in the patchbaseline is something you invent and only appears otherwise on the pyro command line. Why do you say that your files are relevant ? -----Original Message----- From: tome...@qualisystems.com [mailto:tome...@qualisystems.com] Sent: 10 January 2012 11:21 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] creating a WIX small or minor patch Yea, that I got from the sample, the problem is that our build.wxs files are a "bit" more complicated than the example ones... We are using HearDirectory to create our file list, and the file list generated doesn't have a nice ID that I can reference too... What I really need is a good example, an example that shows how to work with real life scenarios... Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: Monday, January 09, 2012 6:02 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

My wsx files that I use to create the installation use HeatDirectory to harvest the files I need to put in my MSI (I'm not using cab, it's in a folder besides the MSI), anyway, I have 2 versions of the installation MSI and the wixpdb files that go along with them, the problem I'm having is creating the right patch.wsx to work with the diff.wixmst I create with the torch... The call to this command: pyro.exe out\patch\patch.wixmsp -out out\patch\patch.msp -t RTM out\patch\diff.wixmst throws: pyro.exe : error PYRO0252 : No valid transforms were provided to attach to the patch. Check to make sure the transforms you passed on the command line have a matching baseline authored in the patch. Also, make sure there are differences between your target and upgrade. And it figures... I don't have an RTM id anywhere... please help... Any link to a patch.wsx sample with a bit MORE details will be MUCH appreciated.
