1) See my earlier reply 2) If you use MSI 3.0 or later, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371628(VS.85).aspx
This is the recommended approach, and it allows you to use the Version attribute of the PatchFamily element. In that case since Patch 2 is installed and supersedes Patch 1, the installation will simply repair leaving the Patch 2 version in place (in spite of presenting Patch 1). -----Original Message----- From: shibo [mailto:szheng...@googlemail.com] Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 2:53 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Purely WiX patching - two questions please Peter, Thanks for your reply. 1) This means that we have to work out the differences for WiX. I am very surprised. This is not practical for us. 2) If I have 2 patches created based on the same baseline. When a customer has base(rtm), patch 1 and 2 installed, what happens if he tries to install patch 1 again by mistake, how can the system tell that patch 1 is out of date for this customer, what is the criteria?
