Hi Bob, Most probably I will not have to patch the files in those directories because they are not binaries. But just in case : could you please detail the problems I might have if I patch those files ? (if I will ever get a request to patch them it would be good for me to know what problems it could rise). Agree with your recomandation, I have upgraded to the new build because I desperately need the delta patching which was not available when I have delievered my RTM. I'm stuck with this situation until the next major release.
Many thanks, Cristian. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Arnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Cristian Baiu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Friday, December 21, 2007 9:26 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Patching and the new limitation of Directory to 72 characters > Cristian Baiu wrote: >> Obivously, I will need to cut shorter this directory ids in order to >> be able to build my upgrade setup.
