For one of the components with missing files, can you see any difference in the Wix source code between the original and updated versions ? They should be the same.
Also, does your updated MSI upgrade an existing installation, without error, with the MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES property set to 1 ? I.e. msiexec /fvomus [path to updated .msi file] REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES=1 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 17 April 2012 14:24 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSP question Hi Peter, I only find one reference to the missing components: MSI (s) (18:04) [11:55:50:138]: Executing op: ComponentRegister(ComponentId={FEA74860-747D-4065-ABB8-7921CEE2BAF3},KeyPath= C:\cmsoft\60970\10021.Ver,State=3,,Disk=1,SharedDllRefCount=0,BinaryType=0) MSI (s) (18:04) [11:55:50:140]: Executing op: ComponentRegister(ComponentId={027A9F27-B80E-4914-9C89-073012511CF3},KeyPath= C:\cmsoft\60970\SurvApp - Copy.INI,State=3,,Disk=1,SharedDllRefCount=0,BinaryType=0) The first is a missing one, the second, seemingly identical in character, is one which survives.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSP question What does a verbose log say about the disappearing components ? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 16 April 2012 17:59 To: [email protected] Subject: [WiX-users] MSP question Hi everyone, I'm using pyro to attempt to generate an .MSP file to use. In its .wxs, I have (for now) a single componentref which seems to work out ok, i.e. the patch successfully installs the additional file referenced by the new component. However, for some reason, the .MSP also as part of its operation removes some of the original files: not all of them and with seemingly no pattern. Each component "lost" a few files. All I can see is that the ones which did not survive the upgrade are ones flagged with a 512 attribute in the File Attributes column; the ones which made it are 4608 (i.e. 512+4096), which as far as I can tell is correct in this context. This prompts the question: what would create any difference between some files and others? My .wxs for the full MSI seems to contain all the files referenced properly. All files are keypath="yes" for what that's worth ... For example, under one directory: <Component Id="F38afa489ded74" Guid="fea74860-747d-4065-abb8-7921cee2baf3"> <File Id="F38afa489ded74" Source="c:\cmsoft\60970\10021.Ver" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> <Component Id="Fc3cde52e85bc4" Guid="027a9f27-b80e-4914-9c89-073012511cf3"> <File Id="Fc3cde52e85bc4" Source="c:\cmsoft\60970\SurvApp - Copy.INI" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> <Component Id="F55ff3f88e49d4" Guid="a38fc47d-8d1b-4a0e-91da-2b9e9becac10"> <File Id="F55ff3f88e49d4" Source="c:\cmsoft\60970\SURVAPP.exe" KeyPath="yes" Checksum="yes" /> </Component> <Component Id="F638bbbdf0bfd4" Guid="90e0f205-be97-419b-88f8-41a5bcc94be8"> <File Id="F638bbbdf0bfd4" Source="c:\cmsoft\60970\SurvApp.INI" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> <Component Id="F647d809bd1b64" Guid="86717730-1a04-4bb5-8dfb-83b844da4167"> <File Id="F647d809bd1b64" Source="c:\cmsoft\60970\Vsconfig.mdb" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> Only fileid="Fc3cde52e85bc4" made it. Even the number of "surviving" files is variable (it isn't as if it was only 1 or only the first few, etc.) The strange IDs, BTW, come from me generating this with an installerbuilder application I am working on to help automate installer package making for us.
