Thank you Phil.
I am trying the "Using Patch Creation Properties" approach. I made two
subfolders, 3.8.1 contained only the original DLL I wished to replace, and
3.8.2 the updated DLL.
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/patching/patch_building.html
Should both UpgradeCode and Product ID match the original 3.81 version seen in
Orca?
When both match the original 3.8.1 MSI the patch launches the 3.8.1
repair/remove installer.
msiexec.exe /p patch\patch.msp /l*vx patch.log
When only UpgradeCode matches the Windows Installer displays a dialog with
message:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed" because "program to be upgraded may be
missing".

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How implement installer to update single file ?
Upgrade? Patch?
If you have the old MSI, there are a couple of options (but I am no expert).
If the old mis supports doing a /a layout then you can extract the files of the
old msi to two folder tress, original and changed, change the files in the
'changed' folder tree, and use torch to create a transform.
Or you can use orca in the old msi to find out which component the files is
associated. Then create a new msi with only all of the files (resources) of
that component, using the same component GUID, and run that msi to update the
file. But the component must be identical to the component in the original
package with regard to the guid, target path, and all resources included in
that component.
I am just learning and experimenting with a similar situation, so others can
provide more expert advice.
