Category: None Group: v3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Aaron Stebner (aaronste) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Patch build process should insert the PatchFiles action Initial Comment: All patches should contain a PatchFiles action that is scheduled between InstallFiles and DuplicateFiles. The PatchWiz tool in the Windows Installer SDK always inserts a PatchFiles action into the InstallExecuteSequence with every patch it builds. The WiX patch build process should also do this. Also, we need to make sure that we schedule PatchFiles between InstallFiles and DuplicateFiles in patches created by WiX. The information in the PatchFiles MSDN documentation (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370577.aspx) provides more detail about these scenarios: The PatchFiles action queries the Patch table to determine which patches are to be applied. The PatchFiles action also performs the byte-wise patching of the files. If the file that is to be patched is not installed, the PatchFiles action must come after the InstallFiles action that installs the file. Previously installed files may be patched at any point in the action sequence. The DuplicateFiles Action must come after the PatchFiles action to prevent duplicating the unpatched version of the file. Doing this work provides parity with the existing PatchWiz tool and allows support for delta patching scenarios. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Blair (bmurri) Date: 2007-07-06 13:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1765232 Originator: NO Since whole files in a patch do not have entries in the Patch table, should this action still be added if the Patch table is empty/missing? The PatchFiles action is driven by that table. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1724550&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.
