Subject: [WiX-devs] Patches Issue
Hi,
This is the first time I am working to create the patch. From the WIX
documentation I am able to create the first patch without any difficulty but
doing the second patch is giving me a hard time. I am using the original RTM of
our application for the base of our patch and I am trying to do the cumulative
patch. When I compile my patch creation project, it compiles fine and create
the new MSP file but when I run, it doesn't installs the patch 2 and just
leaves the patch 1 as it is. I tried running it with the log but I didn't saw
any useful information. I did some googling and found some approaches which I
tried but none of them worked. So I am looking for some help over here. I am
pasting the project file code and .wxs file code.
