Hi there, I was able to build the patch using WiX 3.0 described in Peter's post at: http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx
I noticed that he did not change the product version. So I tried changing the product version (to "$(var.Version).0"). The change of version doesn't affect the build of msi and msp files. However, I found that the patch doesn't update product version. That means: Install msi version 1.0: - The sample file says it's version 1.0. - In Add/Remove Programs, clicking the More info link shows version 1.0.0. Apply the patch: - The sample file says it's version 1.1. - In Add/Remove Programs, clicking the More info link still shows version 1.0.0. Remove all and install msi version 1.1: - The sample file says it's version 1.1. - In Add/Remove Programs, clicking the More info link shows version 1.1.0. When I when on and create the third version of 1.2, so I have: - Baseline MSI version 1.0. - MSI version 1.1. - Patch 1.0 to 1.1. - MSI version 1.2. - Patch 1.1 to 1.2. I install them in steps: 1. Install MSI version 1.0. The sample file say it's 1.0, more info link in Add/Remove Programs says it's 1.0.0. 2. Install MSP 1.0 to 1.1. The sample file say it's 1.1, more info link in Add/Remove Programs says it's 1.0.0. 3. Install MSP 1.1 to 1.2: failed with error: the patch is for product version 1.1, which is not found. So how can I make the patch updating product version?
