If I create a wix vs08 project containing a single Product.wxs with patch content and build I get one warning but otherwise it all builds.
When I look at the underlying candle and light commands they pretty much are exactly the same as the chm "Using Patch Creation Properties" outlined candle and light commands. Specifically in the case of the candle command I get the "-dVersion=1.1.0.0" switch included using the project settings dialog. In the case of the light command the only thing that is really difference is the "-out ..." switch file name extension. For example by default the wix project template sets the "-out ..." switch to use a file that ends with ".msi" versus ".pcp". Question - if the only thing different in the light command that gets applied using the current wix project templet is ".msi" versus ".pcp" then is the contents of the a file going to be right, in other words can I just rename the file in a postBuild event step in order to get the desired .pcp file that I can then run msimsp.exe against to produce my patch .msp file output. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 10:45 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

I don't know if they'll be supported as target types in v3. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
