I am getting below error when trying to install a patch that has added a new component (2 files). When looked from orca it appears to add the 2 files just fine. Also if I add the new files to existing component instead of adding a new component, it seems to be installing fine.
Additional information: 1. I am using WIX 3 toolset to generate patch. Original MSI and the updated one is built using WIX 2.0 2. We have another MSI that and we have added components via it's patch, that one seems to be working just fine. It's just this MSI that has the below issue. 3. I also tried using WIX 3.5 to generate patch and that too is failing with same error. What is the problem here and how do I fix it? Do I need to open a bug for this if this isn't already a known issue? Let me know if you need more info on this.
