Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: v3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Heath Stewart (heaths) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: New WiX patch build can't build 2.0-style patches Initial Comment: 1. candle fails if the Classification, Manufacturer, etc. properties (non-booleans) aren't authored, but the existence of these attribute values generate an MsiPatchMetadata table which, in some scenarios, makes Windows Installer consider the MSP a 3.0-style patch. 2. patch families may still be interesting with 2.0-style patches because it limits potential regression with obsolescence, yet specifying patch families forces creation of the MsiPatchSequence table, which in most scenarios identifies the patch as a 3.0-style patch. A potential solution would be to pass in patches to obsolesce like //PatchCreation/ReplacePatch and then default to a 2.0-style patch unless now-optional attributes (like PatchFamily/@Version) are specified. Or have an explicit attribute and throw errors accordingly. 3.0-style patches can specify obsolescence in the MSP's Revision Number summary property, but 2.0-style patches cannot have either an MsiPatchMetadata table or MsiPatchSequence table. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1717526&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
