Re: [WiX-users] error 1334 on installing a patch.
The PatchGroup element is used to ensure that new files get added to the end of the sequence. That has been able to solve all the sequencing problems people have brought up in the past so can you be more specific about what files you're finding are out of sequence? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sandip Shahane Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 3:47 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] error 1334 on installing a patch. So, how do I control the file sequencing? PatchGroup attribute seems like something for files that are newly added by the patch (correct me if wrong). So here is the scenario and problem I am facing: There is an original MSI with a File table snap shot for couple of files as below and an updated package that has some new files, some existing files and some updated files. Also in updated MSI File table the file sequence is completely different than the RTM one. Probably because of this I am getting, error 1334 for the below files while installing a patch. Now, since I am using WIX, I want to know is there any way I can make sure the file sequence remains same for the files that are not updated in the new package? Also is there a way to know how and why the sequence might have changed in the first place?

File sequence numbers should stay the same. WiX authoring has the ability to help enforce this. Note that the sequence number is especially important when dealing with cabinets. The sequence number identifies the order of the files in the cabinets. According to RTM authoring, Sdk.diagrams.dll comes before Sdk.dll in the cabinet. However, by your updated MSI authoring, you have now made Sdk.Diagrams come after Sdk.dll in the cabinet. With the patch applied, the file won't be found in the cabinet. In particular, Sdk.Diagrams won't be found because it will have already been bypassed in the seek for Sdk.dll. In short, sequence numbers should not change in patches unless the file is being updated via a full-file update (in which case, the attributes column also changes).

Re: [WiX-users] upgradable merge modules
Sure, but if my merge modules components are merged into the package installers components, then a major upgrade of the package, which ended up using a different version of my merge module, would result in the components in my old merge modules being unreferenced and removed if those same components don't exist in the new version of the merge module. I am just verifying if this is the case. More often than not I've been mistaken when dealing with Windows Installer, so wanted to confirm. =) Also, if I change a component in my merge module, in a compatible way, can I include the *new* version of the component (same file name) with the same component id, in the new merge module, and have packages which include my merge module replace the existing file with the new version (thus upgrading the old application, without breaking it, as long as my upgraded component is compatible).

These would result in the components being removed and the ref count being decreased, correct? In which case, upgrading a third party from library Version A to library Version B, might result in the removal of some files from Version A. A merge module can't cause components to be removed. Only the product determines that, such as by using a major upgrade to uninstall the prior version (removing components) and installing the new one. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

That's true only if you: - Force consuming products to use only major upgrades (i.e., no patching). - Force consuming products to use early RemoveExistingProducts sequencing (i.e., not the more efficient placements). Also, if I change a component in my merge module, in a compatible way, can I include the *new* version of the component (same file name) with the same component id, in the new merge module, and have packages which include my merge module replace the existing file with the new version (thus upgrading the old application, without breaking it, as long as my upgraded component is compatible). You can upgrade components' resources but you can't change their composition (i.e., no new files). -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
