I always use just one base but multiple bases (i.e. targets) are possible from what I understand from the documentation. I avoid them because that increases the size of the patch (differences from both bases must be stored in a patch) but it should work if you declare two targets.
-----Original Message----- From: XorPtr [mailto:reaper4...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 4:22 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Patching Base Versions I had a question about whether a feature is supported and haven't seen any WiX documentation that really answers my question. Basically I was curious as to how patches could be installed and supersede each other based on the base used to create the patch. For example if I have Product v1.0.3 directly. I can create a patch for Product v1.0.3 using it as a base and patching to Product v1.0.4. My question is, would I be able to install a patch created using the base Product v1.0.1 which patches to Product v1.0.4, and successfully install it on Product v1.0.3. Currently this is effort is failing with a message saying the program to be upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. I'm not sure if this is because I have a problem with the patch or if this just isn't supported by WiX. If this is supported by WiX, what would be the best way to go about doing it? Thanks in advance, Big Jim. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Patching-Base-Versions-tp5127849p5127849.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
