I think a check for the PATCH property is more typical. Phil

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creating patches I was reviewing the code again, again, again. And suddenly it occurred to me, that I was missing the product code attribute in PatchFamily. I was certain I had it in there at some point, but in my desperate attempts to getting it to work, it must have been removed at some point. Anyway, now I got it to generate a patch file. This prompt led me to the next problem. The patch file cheerfully goes through the entire dialog from the original installer. This is not really interesting to me, so how do I go about jumping from the welcome dialog to the verify ready dialog? I assume it is because my dialog next actions are defined something like this: <Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="InstallDirDlg">1</Publish> I would need a check for Installed, right? So something like this instead: <Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="InstallDirDlg">NOT Installed</Publish> <Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog" Value="VerifyReadyDlg">Installed</Publish> But how would this perform when doing a major update? /Thomas > -----Original Message----- > From: MrWiX [mailto:philipp.ew...@asamnet.de] > Sent: 21. maj 2013 10:32 > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Creating patches > > Identical file versions are definitely not the problem.
