Hi All, I have created a product MSI which is versioned 6.100.0 . I have then successfully created a minor update which installs as 6.100.1. Below is the patch.wxs file I use to accomplish this:
============================ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Patch AllowRemoval="yes" Classification="Update" Comments="Patch for MyProduct 6.100.1" Description="Update for MyProduct 6.100.1" DisplayName="MyProduct 6.100.1 Software Patch" Manufacturer="MyCompany" MoreInfoURL="http://www.mycompany.com";> <Media Id="1000" Cabinet="SEGPatch.cab"> <PatchBaseline Id="SEGPatch" /> </Media> <PatchFamily Id="SEGPatchFamily" Version="6.100.1" ProductCode="604F30E1-35F2-4E34-AA21-3E83CDE863E1" Supersede="yes"> <ComponentRef Id="CMP_ProjectElements.Forms.dll" /> </PatchFamily> </Patch> </Wix> ============================== Everything is updated as expected when I apply this patch (MSP). I now want to create a second patch, containing an additional file. This will be version 6.100.2, and I plan on making this cumulative, so that one could apply 6.100.2 and get the content of 6.100.1 as well. Below is the patch.wxs file for my 6.100.2 update: ============================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Patch AllowRemoval="yes" Classification="Update" Comments="Patch for MyProduct 6.100.2" Description="Update for MyProduct 6.100.2" DisplayName="MyProduct 6.100.2 Software Patch" Manufacturer="MyCompany" MoreInfoURL="http://www.mycompany.com";> <Media Id="1001" Cabinet="SEGPatch.cab"> <PatchBaseline Id="SEGPatch" /> </Media> <PatchFamily Id="SEGPatchFamily" Version="6.100.2" ProductCode="604F30E1-35F2-4E34-AA21-3E83CDE863E1" Supersede="yes"> <ComponentRef Id="CMP_ProjectElements.dll" /> <ComponentRef Id="CMP_ProjectElements.Forms.dll" /> </PatchFamily> </Patch> </Wix> ============================== The patch builds as expected, and will apply to 6.100.0 without issue. The problem arises when I attempt to go from 6.100.1 -> 6.100.2. I get the below error in my MSI.LOG file, and the patch is not applied: ============================== MSI (c) (60:50) [11:22:56:067]: SOFTWARE RESTRICTION POLICY: C:\Public\Hotfix\EG\eguide_2.msp has a digital signature MSI (c) (60:50) [11:22:56:070]: SOFTWARE RESTRICTION POLICY: C:\Public\Hotfix\EG\eguide_2.msp is permitted to run at the 'unrestricted' authorization level.

Additional information is available in the log file C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\MSI5f8b0.LOG. ================================ When building these patches, I am building both using 6.100.0 as my base version, but I thought the Supersede="yes" attribute on the PatchFamily element would let me apply the 6.100.2 patch directly on top of the 6.100.1 patch, however this is not the case. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I am currently using WIX 3.5 to accomplish all of this.
