Of course. I've been doing this on a very small 3 file install to test
proof of concept stuff. There are 2 files that I am using, Product.wxs and
Patch.wxs, both should be fairly self explanatory. When creating the 2
versions of the product a wixout with the -bf option in light is used and
then light is ran again to create the msi. Torch is ran against the
resulting wixpdb files to create the wixmst. Pyro is then ran against the
wixmst and the wixmsp from the patch file.
Thank you again for your help.

Command line for creating product (batch script):
candle Product.wxs -dVersion=%1 -out Prod%1.wixobj
light Prod%1.wixobj -xo -dVersion=%1 -out %1\Prod%1.wixout
light %1\Prod%1.wixout -out %1\Prod%1.msi
Command line for creating patch (batch script):
torch -xi -p -t patch %1\Prod%1.wixpdb %2\Prod%2.wixpdb -out
%1to%2diff.wixmst
candle patch.wxs -dbase=%1 -dtarget=%2 -out Patch%1to%2.wixobj
light Patch%1to%2.wixobj -out Patch%1to%2.wixmsp
pyro Patch%1to%2.wixmsp -out %1to%2.msp -t RTM %1to%2diff.wixmst
