Hi, Is it possible to create a single delta msp file that patches multiple previous versions? I'm struggling to find documentation on whether this is possible or not, so I tried an experiment...
I'm using this cmd to create whole file patches successfully: pyro -nologo .\v1.3.0\patch.wixmsp -out .\v1.3.0\Product.msp -t RTM .\v1.3.0\Diff-v1.1.0.wixmst -t RTM .\v1.3.0\Diff-v1.2.0.wixmst and this to create a delta patch to get from 1.1.0 to 1.3.0: pyro -delta -nologo .\v1.3.0\patch.wixmsp -out .\v1.3.0\Product.msp -t RTM .\v1.3.0\Diff-v1.1.0.wixmst This attempt to create a delta patch that can take you from 1.1.0 or 1.2.0 to 1.3.0 fails: pyro -delta -nologo .\v1.3.0\patch.wixmsp -out .\v1.3.0\Product.msp -t RTM .\v1.3.0\Diff-v1.1.0.wixmst -t RTM .\v1.3.0\Diff-v1.2.0.wixmst pyro.exe : error PYRO0001 : The parameter is incorrect Exception Type: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception Stack Trace: at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.PatchAPI.PatchInterop.CreateDelta(String deltaFile, String targetFile, String targetSymbolPath, String targetRetainOffsets, String[] basisFiles, String[] basisSymbolPaths, String[] basisIgnoreLengths, String[] basisIgnoreOffsets, String[] basisRetainLengths, String[] basisRetainOffsets, PatchSymbolFlagsType apiPatchingSymbolFlags, Boolean optimizePatchSizeForLargeFiles, Boolean& retainRangesIgnored) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.BinderFileManager.ResolvePatch(FileRow fileRow, Boolean& retainRangeWarning) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.CabinetBuilder.CreateCabinet(CabinetWorkItem cabinetWorkItem) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.CabinetBuilder.ProcessWorkItems() Am I doing something wrong, or am I attempting to do the impossible? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Using-pyro-to-create-delta-patches-for-multiple-previous-releases-tp6538087p6538087.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
