I have followed the tutorial on creating a patch http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/patch_building.htm and can create multiple small updates and apply them. (I have a base version and 2 patches which are created by using MsiMsp between the base and new version). However, when I try changing the product version to create a minor update I am only allow to install one patch and get the following error when attempting to install the second one.
What am I doing wrong? Can multiple minor updates be applied at the same time? Can a minor update (Supersede) a previous version by uninstalling it in the way a major update will uninstall a previous version?
