(.net assemblies) and one txt file!? there.

Torch marks up the database changes. Including -p causes it to leave the
unchanged portions of the database intact so they will be present for
Pyro to use in its processing.

It is Pyro that looks at the two files and determines if they are the
same or not, and it "promotes" files that compare as different to be
considered as "changed" and thus be included with the other marked
database changes.

If you use WIXOUT or WIXPDB files then fragment boundaries are
considered in the comparisons, so if you specify references to things to
include in your patch family/families, things that are not in any
referenced fragments are ignored (by design).

Look for the files you are concerned with in the WIXMST file. You should
find either paths or references to cabinet-ids for both the updated and
the previous versions of the files.

Subject: [WiX-users] How does Torch decide which files changed?!

I'm creating a patch, I'm not sure that the patch includes all of my
files even though I'm passing the -p flag to the torch.exe.
Can someone please explain to me the logic that torch uses to determine
what files are included in the patch.
Thanks.
