I did some more testing. The installer is not touching the config files
in general. Only the connection string. Seems, that one of my components
gets executed every time. I can't see why. Any ideas?
<Component Id="ConfigWindowsAuth" Guid="MYGUID" KeyPath="yes" >
<util:XmlFile Id="AppConfigSetConnStrWin" Action="setValue"
Permanent="yes" File="[#MY.config]"
ElementPath="/configuration/appSettings/add[\[]@key='ConnectionString'[\
]]" Name="value"
Value="Data Source=[DB_SERVER];Initial
Catalog=[DB_NAME];Integrated Security=SSPI;" />
<Condition>DB_WINDOWS_AUTH=1 AND NOT Installed AND NOT
PATCH</Condition>
Seems that it always does an ExecXmlFile:
...

...
Any ideas on this? And what is this CacheRTMFile?

Are the config files being included in the patch? Patchwiz log should
tell you what exactly what it is choosing to include.
If so it's overwriting them with what it thinks are newer files which is
what I suspect is the case as Windows Installer won't overwrite updated
files with older ones in my experience.

Subject: [WiX-users] Ignoring config files with patch
Hi,
I'm creating a patch following
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/patch_building.htm. It seems,
that the config files get changed back. I tried PatchIgnore on the
config file in the installer. But from the documentation is seems that
it just helps to prevent changes from one installer to the other going
into the patch. And does this mean, I have to recreate the installers?
Thanks,
Christoph
