Hello all, I'm generating a patch between two MSIs that I have created in WiX. I also am generating my PCP file in WiX, but I'm uisng MsiMsp build the actual patch file.
This is the second patch I am creating. My package lineage looks like this: v3.0.3 v3.0.4 v3.1.0 I had no trouble creating the patch between 3.0.3 and 3.0.4. Now, I am trying to create the patch between 3.0.4 and 3.1.0, and apply it on a machine that had installed 3.0.3 and then patched successfully to 3.0.4. I have added some new components with new files to my installed feature. I have marked these files "PatchGroup=2" in my main WiX files. I am generating the PCP to only apply to 3.0.4, and have set the Family to target the admin install I have from 3.0.4. I have set the SequenceStart for the Family to be a high number. The patch builds fine, but when I attempt to apply it, I get this error message in the log: Error 2920: Source directory not specified for file MyNewDll.dll. This is a new file I am adding for this patch. When I view the patch applied on my 3.0.4 MSI in Orca, everything looks OK. The new files all have the highest sequence numbers. The Media table has a new entry for my patch, and the sequence numbers look right. A snippet from the log is below. I can see that the media is indeed being changed. If I manually extract my MSP file, I can see the file in question. I can't figure out why this isn't working!

This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2920. The arguments are: MyNewDll.dll, , Does anyone have any ideas? I realize that this may be a Patchwiz problem, not a WiX problem, but since I'm doing most everything in WiX I'm not sure where else to turn. Thanks!
