Here's an update. It seems that when building the patch it only includes my added sqlscript if I also change some files. Is that expected behaviour? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Creating-a-patch-tp7597504p7597524.html Sent from

Do you not know the name of your EXE at compile time? You could hard code the name of the executable, or you could use the preprocessor. $(var.ProjectName.TargetFileName) will get you the file name of the output of the project with name 'ProjectName' if you've set up the references in Visual

Just cover the bases, I assume you are actually uninstalling the patch? In Windows 7 that would start with the View Installed Updates option in Programs and Features, and you have generated an uninstallable patch so your patch shows there? --- Phil Wilson On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 6:32
