Hello WiX community,
What is the difference between FeatureRef and ComponentRef elements
located under PatchFamily?
I'm building a patch to upgrade 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 and the difference is the
only one file being changed.
If I reference a component under PatchFamily element (the file belongs
to this component), everything works fine and the file gets updated
after patching.
<!-- WORKS FINE -->
<PatchFamily Id="UpdatePatchFamily" Version="1.0.0" Supersede="yes">
<ComponentRef Id="Web.config"/>
</PatchFamily>
But if I reference a feature where the component is included to, the
file doesn't get updated after patching.
<!-- DOESN'T WORK -->
<PatchFamily Id="UpdatePatchFamily" Version="1.0.0" Supersede="yes">
<FeatureRef Id="ProductFeature" />
</PatchFamily>
Is this expected? If so, could you please explain why?
WiX version is 3.0.4805.0.
Thanks.
-- Yan
