A follow up. When I build the patch, I get this message relating to the new sub folders:
pyro.exe : warning PYRO1110 : Component 'U8_2_p02_0_oracle' was added to feature 'oraUpgrade'. 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 this patch. This is a new folder. I added the component and the feature, the full install compiles. Since it is new, should I put a keypath attribute on the first file to ensure that it is there? I looked into the wstdiff file and I see the "commands" for adding the folder and the files, yet nothing is done on the target system. I do use the reinstallmode=a option to try and force things.....What am I missing?

Subject: [WiX-users] Patch not installing files. I've run into a strange issue with a patch that maybe I can get some direction from this group. I generate a patch file (msp) performing the following commands: ------------------------ "C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.5419.0\candle.exe" "J:\Tw8-2z\Pro02\Disks\Xi\TabWareXiTools8202.wxs" -ext WixNetFxExtension "C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.5419.0\light.exe" -sacl -sice:ICE03 "TabWareXiTools8202.wixobj" -out "TabWareXiTools8202.msi" -ext WixNetFxExtension pause torch.exe -p -xi J:\Tw8-2z\Pro00\Disks\Xi\TabWareXiTools8200.wixpdb TabWareXiTools8202.wixpdb -out diff.wixmst pause candle.exe patch.wxs pause REM light.exe patch.wixobj light.exe patch.wixobj -out patch.wixmsp pyro.exe -v patch.wixmsp -out XiTl8202.msp -t RTM diff.wixmst pause ------------------------------------ Everything seems to go well and I get a msp file. One key element in this patch is that there two new sub folders in the 8202 release (with files). When I run the original 8200 full install then the patch for 8202, the sub folders are not created and there are not files loaded. I trapped the output from the patch install and did not see any obvious errors, so I am not sure what I am looking for to determine why I don't get these specific folders established. Other files that are part of the original install are updated and new files in other folders are added, but I am not getting these new folders. Is there anything I need to show to help, I will post up if needed.
