The terms upgrade, patch and component have specific meanings in Windows Installer, so some of your meaning may not be obvious. However:
A patch is a patch, an msp file, so just go search for -creating patches with wix- By definition a patch contains only the changes to the files that need updating (or the entire new file if you do whole file patching) so that seems to be what you need. So yes, that's possible. If "on uninstall" means that you want an uninstallable patch to revert the product files back to the way it is without the patch then just follow the rules for creating an uninstallable patch. Apart from that your question is too general, but yes you can do all that with a patch. --------------- Phil Wilson On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 6:13 AM, Taunk, Vikash <vikash.ta...@cgi.com> wrote: > Hello, > > As part of our requirement, we need to create an upgrade patch on top of the > main package, the upgrade patch should only installed the components which is > part of the patch and similarly on uninstall should uninstall the component > and replace it with the old component. > > Any help on how to do this in WIX would be greatly appreciated. > > Regards, > Vikash > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
