Hello,We are trying to create a Minor Upgrade for an installer which we created 
with the use of wix toolset 3.8. We used SharpDevelop to build the old and the 
new version of our installer. Both Product Id and Upgrade Code stay the same. 
For now there are only minor differences between the two installers, i.e. 
comments were changed in two files as well as the version of the installer. We 
used candle and light to create patch.wixmsp and then used torch and pyro to 
find the differences between the two versions of the installer. 

We expected the patch would cause the update of comments in the two files we 
changed but it does not happen. Instead, we only receive a pyro1079 warning 
"the cabinet does not contain any files." The patch is created but it does not 
actually update the files we changed. It only recognizes that the version of 
the installer was changed. We use -p flag with pyro and we also tried adding 
ComponentRef to our patch.wxs but it has not helped. 

The installer is very extensive, consists of several .wxs files which in turn 
contain numerous files divided into many fragments. Each fragment contains many 
components. 

We heared there was a bug in version 3.6 causing such a problem but we use 
version 3.8, so we suppose that is not the issue? We would appreciate any 
advice. 

The patch currently look like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">

    <Patch 
        AllowRemoval="yes"
        Classification="Update"
        Description="Small Update Test Patch" 
        DisplayName="Sample Patch" 
        Manufacturer="myCompany" 
        MoreInfoURL="www.myCompany.com"
        TargetProductName="myInstaller"      
        >

        <Media Id="5000" Cabinet="testPatch.cab">
            <PatchBaseline Id="testPatch"/>
        </Media>
    </Patch>
  
        <PatchFamily Id="testPatchFamily" 
        Version="0.5.0.0" 
        ProductCode="0d2f0696-8166-401c-838a-8884e80da1ab"
        Supersede="yes">
        
        </PatchFamily>
</Wix>Regards,Anna
