Re: [WiX-users] Applying two patches causes version number confusion
Using the Pure WIX approach, I was able to get a sample patch to work as documented. Maybe consider restructuring your patch wxs files to use Patch/PatchFamily rather than PatchCreation as shown below. i.e. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?

Re: [WiX-users] Applying two patches causes version number confusion
Sorry, due to legal reasons, I cannot really post my Patch wxs file. But it's basically the same file used in both patches. The only difference between patches are: 1. In PatchCreation element, the Id attribute is different, auto-generated GUID is used each time we patch. 2. In Family element, the SequenceStart attribute MAY or MAY NOT be different. Interestingly, the version number does not appear in the Patch wxs file at all. Oh, one other thing, as it was suggested here that the cause maybe due to 4-digit version number vs. 3-digit number. I tested this out, and that's not the reason. If I go from a.b.c.d to a.b.e.f, both will become a.b.e.f, always keeping the highest version number. -Original Message- From: kjk129 [mailto:kjk...@coolblue.com] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2014 11:01 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Applying two patches causes version number confusion Could you post a copy of both of your Patch WXS files? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Applying-two-patches-causes-version-number-confusion-tp7595340p7595395.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.

That means you're not using WiX to build the patches but a tool like MsiMsp. Nothing WiX can do to change the outcome. That's why pure-WiX patching was built. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
Re: [WiX-users] Applying two patches causes version number confusion
I'm no expert, but I do know that Windows Installer doesn't seem to use the 4th digit in versions for much, so is it possible that the fact you only changed it is simply confusing the matter? (I.e., violating expectations somehow so the behaviour isn't right.)
