For whole file patching, you need to write a BinderFileManager and put it into
an extension
Okay I have done a bit more testing with Pure Wix and Melt and here is what I
have found with my testing.
Create Product.wxs with a bunch of components in root and I also create a
fragment with is bunch more components.
I then built this msi and associated .wixpdb file.
I then updated some of
PatchFamilies.
Then the filtering pulls in everything that changed... like PCP does (IIRC).

I'm always a bit behind on patching stuff but it sounds like your adding
PatchFamilies and that kicks in filtering. Filtering is designed to provide

I guess I that is what I get from following documentation examples like what is
in the current Wix Toolset documentation:

Hey Stephen,
Here is the contents for my sample build.bat file:
@echo call melt.exe to fix the Version 1.0 wixpdb file so that we do not
have to worry about original source files/folders.
Melt.exe Ver1.0\product.msi -out Ver1.0Corrected\product.wixpdb -pdb
Ver1.0\product.wixpdb -x
Okay Rob, taking out the PatchFamily does allow the patch to all updated
files to be correctly patched and therefore does reduce the complexity of
this method...
Now if we look at Stephen's issue I can see this being a major concern as we
also do the same thing where files are updated with

The latter. Binary diffs are non-trivial. For example of this, see how TFS
handles binary check-ins. Like you, my builds version every rebuilt assembly
every build. So, we're guaranteed at least several dozen new assemblies
Well I just did a test of Patch Creation using two different builds of our
next release of our software, which the .msi files are 118 MB in size, and
if I set the WholeFilesOnly=yes the patch .msp size is 20MB. Now if I set
the WholeFilesOnly=no then the size of the .msp is only 3.8 MB. Way
