That sounds a lot like: "In addition to Melt.exe supporting an input of a merge module and an output of a WiX source file, I added a new mode: inputs of the .msi and its matching .wixpdb files and as output, the directory where the .msi contents are extracted and a new .wixpdb that's a copy of the input .wixpdb updated to point to the extracted .msi contents."

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Build warning request I use melt but without the bindpath the wixpdbs can't find the location on the new machine where the patches are being built. I'm referring to a build system where the machines are all based off of the same template but aren't truly homogenous. Different jenkins slaves have more or fewer executors based on available disks. So an MSI generated on E:\....\ will not melt properly without bindpaths when melted on D:\....\ or even a different path on the same disk. ________________________________________ From: Tunney, Stephen [stephen.tun...@nuance.com] Sent: June 12, 2014 8:45 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Build warning request I can agree with the first, but the second scenario will simply result in a useless patch if the user doesn't have bindpaths and tried to do pure wix patching. I've tried with the simplest scenarios and pyro creates warnings stating that each transform applied has not differences. ________________________________________ From: Bob Arnson [b...@joyofsetup.com] Sent: June 12, 2014 6:48 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Build warning request On 6/12/2014 1:15 PM, Tunney, Stephen wrote: > Can we perhaps put a compiler warning in if a bindpath isn't used?
