Hi it always bugged me, that creating a patch either with wix or with the msimsp patch creation includes dlls which are binary different, but have the same version (or where the upgraded installer has a lower version). When said patch is installed on top of the targeted product, those dlls will not end up on the system, if I understand things correctly, because the windows installer will actually compare both versions, not the binary hashes. Is there a reason/rationale behind this patch creation behavior? I failed to find one.
