Hi,
I built my patch on msimsp. This patch does not work.
It installs nothing even though he is 50 Mb big.
I have kept to this page:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/patch_building.htm
However, nothing seems to fall into the patch. I thought msimsp compares the
two versions and adds only the changed data?
Sometimes I add my code for the patch to do so. I hope you will find the
error.
I'm total beginner in programming the installation.

You can't use Votive to build patches as there's no "patch" project type (or
there wasn't last time I checked) which is why Visual Studio is erroring.
Post your patch.wxs & the commands you're running which give you that error
as the error & information you pasted is too vague to diagnose.
I've built patches for years following that guide without problems using
both WiX v3.0 & v3.5 & various versions of the Windows SDK from 6.0 up to
the current 7.1.

Subject: [WiX-users] Creating Patch
Hi,
i know i have a lot of questions. I am just new in wix.
I try to create a patch in wix. For this purpose I use the following page:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/patch_building.htm. When I use
light.exe application, the error: lght0093: cout not find entry section in
provided list of intermediats. Expectetd section of type PatchCreation.
In VS2008 it shows: warning LGHT1109: Found mismatched entry point
<PatchCreation>. Expected <Product> for specified output package type .msi.
I am confused... Can someone help me?
Christoph
