Torch marks up the database changes. Including -p causes it to leave the unchanged portions of the database intact so they will be present for Pyro to use in its processing.
It is Pyro that looks at the two files and determines if they are the same or not, and it "promotes" files that compare as different to be considered as "changed" and thus be included with the other marked database changes. If you use WIXOUT or WIXPDB files then fragment boundaries are considered in the comparisons, so if you specify references to things to include in your patch family/families, things that are not in any referenced fragments are ignored (by design). Look for the files you are concerned with in the WIXMST file. You should find either paths or references to cabinet-ids for both the updated and the previous versions of the files.

I'm creating a patch, I'm not sure that the patch includes all of my files even though I'm passing the -p flag to the torch.exe. Can someone please explain to me the logic that torch uses to determine what files are included in the patch. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
