Q1 - does running upgrade msi or patch msi still require additional command
line switches?
In the WiX tutorial Lesson 4 Upgrades and modularization details it talks about
needing the use the following command line switches to run an upgrade msi
msiexec /i SampleUpgrade2.msi REINSTALL=ALL
is there a recommended approach to getting current wix vs08 project extensions
to output a patch msp?
I've created a wix vs08 project and changed the Product.wxs to contain
PatchCreation.../PatchCreation content versus Package.../Package
content.
In the current wix project settings there
is it a known issue that the project macros $(OutDir), $(TargetDir) and
$(TargetPath) still refer to bin\Debug versus bin\Debug\lang-locale where
output now lands?
