I am new to using WiX and have built my 2 installation packages successfully.
The only difference between the first and second is an updated pdf file.
I have tried to build the patch using torch with the .wixpdb files and I get a
pryo error that says there are no valid transforms. If I try to use torch with
the .msi files I get a strange error that says it can't find one of the files -
the path it displays is a mix of the installation directory and the destination
folder from the installation. I have put AdminImage="yes" into both
installation packages to made them admin so I can use the msi files in torch.
This is my understanding of what I needed to do following the web pages I have
read (which are many).
I have tried using the admin version because I also read that if you use the
wixpdb files it does read the msi to find the file change and my updates are
all currently within my working directory that I build the installation from,
so the only file there is the latest one (so it will not be able to find the
previous one).
The msi files work fine for installation, but I don't understand why I am
getting the error below when I use them in torch.
torch.exe : error TRCH0258 : The file
'C:\ADS_AutoUpdate\ADS_Install\bin\debug\ADSD\ADS.exe' cannot be found.
The part up to ADSD is where I am building my install (the source code is
contained in a different directory) and the ADSD part is where I am telling the
install to copy the exe file to after I specify the TARGETDIR directory in my
wxs file.
I have attached the product.wxs file and the patch wxs file. The file that I am
trying to get built in as the patch is the "NoChart" file contained within the
product.wxs file.
I would prefer not to have multiple copies of the source code within each
install directory, as that can get quite large.
What am I doing wrong with this install and/or patch?
Thanks in advance for the help!
