You want a patch. Because your files are very large, look into binary delta patching. However, search on this list - I think some people have had problems with those types of patches. Also the user may get prompts for the source MSI when using this type of patch.

Subject: [WiX-users] delivering only changed files in update Hello, I have WIX installation with a lot of huge files. Each time, when files are changing I prepare major upgrade (same upgrade code, new product code) with all the files. Now I also need to prepare msi, which would contain only changed files. So that user could download this update, install it over old installation. Is it minor update or a patch? - contain only changed files and installed over old installation? Is there some tutorial how to prepare it? -- Thank you! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users SDL PLC confidential, all rights reserved.
