Your patch is fine. The warning is just saying that if your new component is added to a feature that isn't always installed, the user may get prompted to insert the installation disk or browse to the original MSI under some circumstances.
A list of what you can and can't do in a small/minor upgrade or patch is here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa367850%28VS.85%29.aspx -----Original Message----- From: Muzikayise Flynn Buthelezi [mailto:muzkay...@gmail.com] Sent: 03 October 2012 16:12 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] adding new file in MSP Hi Peter, thanks for kindly getting back to me, its a huge relief know that "Adding files is possible". Wow i just tried it now and it worked perfectly. it gives me this warning tho: *"pyro.exe : warning PYRO1110 : Component 'cmpC6E1B04C03994D77B5ADB160491AD20E' was added to feature 'ProductFeature'. If you cannot guarantee that this feature will always be installed, you should consider adding new components to new top-level features to prevent prompts for source when installing t* *"* the patch still gets created tho but i dont have to worry about it right? thanks again mate, cheers, muzi On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 4:45 PM, Peter Shirtcliffe <pshirtcli...@sdl.com>wrote: > You can add a file in a patch.
