I guess I that is what I get from following documentation examples like what is in the current Wix Toolset documentation: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/patching/wix_patching.html
Okay Rob I'll relook at my samples, make the modifications, and start my patch testing again to verify the changes... Thanks for you help... By the way do you know when will the next version of the documentation/help will be coming out? The reason I ask is that with the Pure WiX examples that I have been using I found reference to Melt.exe and that it was mentioned that if say I just had the product .msi and .wixpdb and tried to generate a patch without the original paths to the built source that the patch creation would fail. So I tested and sure enough it failed. I then added the Melt commands to the build and it fixed the issue. So if the documentation was updated for Pure WiX then anyone new to Patching will see reference to melt and not run into the case of moved files/directories. Also is there any documentation on the Patch and PatchFamily elements and what each of the Patch element entries are and how they are used? Thanks again. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Purely-WiX-patching-and-FeatureRef-tp7590049p7590464.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
