Hi Experts, <br/>
I'm generating a patch using following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
<PatchCreation
Id="$(var.PatchGUID)"
CleanWorkingFolder="yes"
OutputPath="PDW_x64_Patch.pcp"
WholeFilesOnly="yes"
AllowMajorVersionMismatches="no"
AllowProductCodeMismatches="no"
>
<PatchInformation
Description="My Patch for 8.11.10.111"
Comments="My Patch for 8.11.10.111"
Manufacturer="Farrukh"
/>
<PatchMetadata
AllowRemoval="yes"
Description="My Patch for 8.11.10.111"
ManufacturerName="Farrukh."
TargetProductName="My Product Name"
MoreInfoURL="http://www.xyz.com/";
Classification="Update"
DisplayName="My Patch for 8.11.10.111"
/>
<Family DiskId="5000"
MediaSrcProp="PDW_8119111"
Name="AP_PDW"
SequenceStart="5000">
<UpgradeImage SourceFile="$(env.SourceMsi)" Id="Src_Msi">
<TargetImage SourceFile="$(env.TargetMsi)" Order="2"
Id="Target_MSI" IgnoreMissingFiles="yes" />
</UpgradeImage>
</Family>
<PatchSequence PatchFamily="AP_PDW" Sequence="1.0.0.1"
Supersede="yes" />
</PatchCreation>
</Wix>
It generates my msp properly which I tried to install using following
command line:
* msiexec /p MyPatch.msp REINSTALLMODE=oums REINSTALL=ALL /qb
And
msiexec /p MyPatch.msp REINSTALL=ALL /qb
*
In both cases, it is first patch my application partially i.e. *.exe files
are patched, but not dlls. And it refused to get uninstalled from Add-Remove
programs applet.
*
**But when I launched my application, Windows Installer Dialog appeared and
it restored its patched files :(**
*
If I apply this patch again, it patched properly all files, but still
refusing to uninstall.
*
**AllowRemoval="yes" doesn't seems to be working.***
So I'm quite confused with this behavior.
Any help/suggestion would be really appreciated.
Thanks a bunch.
