Just to update I have found that the problem seems to stem from the torch call and if I use the wixmst file generated by 3.5 it creates the patch fine.
Here is my torch call: "%WIXDIR%\torch.exe" -p -xi "%PatchSourse%PROGRAMx32.wixpdb" %NewInstall%x86\PROGRAMx32.wixpdb -out %OutputFolder%\PROGRAMpatch32.wixmst Not sure if this helps at all -----Original Message----- From: ChipSlog [mailto:steven.par...@nikonmetrology.com] Sent: 25 September 2012 14:34 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] [WIX-users] Patch in Wix 3.6 is empty. warning PYRO1079: The cabinet '***.cab' does not contain any files Did you have any more luck with this issue Leo? I have the same problem after upgrading to Wix 3.6, nothing has changed, I still have the same patch family. In 3.5 it picks up the fact that the versions have changed on multiple files and adds them to the patch however in 3.6 it comes up with the empty cab file warning. <?include X:\Utils\UtilsInstall\VersionInformation.wxi ?> <Patch AllowRemoval="no" Manufacturer="*****" MoreInfoURL="*****" DisplayName="*****" Description="Update Patch for $(var.ApplicationVersion)" Classification="Update" > <Media Id="5000" Cabinet="Patch.cab"> <PatchBaseline Id="PATCH"/> </Media> <PatchFamilyRef Id="MainPatchFamily32"/> </Patch> <Fragment> <PatchFamily Id='MainPatchFamily32' Version='1.0.0.0' Supersede='yes'> <ComponentRef Id="***"/> Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WIX-users-Patch-in-Wix-3-6-is-empty-warning-PYRO1079-The-cabinet-cab-does-not-contain-any-files-tp7335788p7580805.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
