Hey Bob & Rob,
Ok quick questions regarding this "new" patching task that I'd like to get
started on
1) What is the preference in 4x for tasks? Add a "Project Reference" to
things like light, melt, etc. or call out to %WIX%\bin\light.exe?
2) What solution would you like this task to be in?
3) Should I create a WIP branch of fork it?
I'm just excited. Today is a snow day here in Waterloo and I'm dreaming up
things to work on.

Bob, exactly. This MSBuild task would call the Melt, candle, light, torch, and
pyro tasks in the background using the supplied values. This would leverage
all of our existing code and provide a simple façade for most users to create
"normal" patches.
OK, then I think we're all on the same page for this. Rob, do you concur?
I think it we use that pseudo task definition I laid out in an earlier email
the user can create a .proj file that requires a minimal number of inputs
(Upgrade MSI path(s), version, bindpaths, etc.) and the task can take care of
the rest.
Agreed, though I think that needs more discussion -- maybe a WIP?
