Hi Tunney,
Does your later build have deleted components? If you are creating a patch
between two build, where the later build has deleted components. I am not sure
if Wix allow this scenario. This scenario will result in unserviceable state
for the component.
Looking at the wix source, I think the NullReferenceException is thrown because
pyro was checking to see if the file from the deleted component is in the
"RemoveFile" table. If you don't specify the removed files in the table. The
following code would throw.
Table removeFileTable =
this.Transform.Tables["RemoveFile"];
foreach (Row removeFileRow in
removeFileTable.Rows) << removeFileTable can be null.
Can you try undoing the deleted components in later build and see if it works
for you?
Thanks
toby
