rtm folder has the RTM install.msi (changed package code) upp folder has the latest hotfix install.msi (make sure same product code/upgrade code of RTM, changed package code) so rtm folder has RTM MSI with subfolder containing files from admin install of RTM so upp folder has latest hotfix MSI with subfolder containing files from admin install of hotfix 1. ran torch: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\torch.exe" -p -ax C:\Patch\temp -xo "C:\Patch\rtm\Install(RTM).msi" "c:\Patch\upp\Install(Hotfix).msi" -out C:\Patch\diff.wixmst 2. ran candle: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\candle.exe" patch.wxs (see patch.wxs below) 3. ran light: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\light.exe" C:\Patch\patch.wixobj -out C:\Patch\patch.wixmsp 4. ran pyro: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\pyro.exe" C:\Patch\patch.wixmsp -out C:\Patch\patch.msp -t RTM C:\Patch\diff.wixmst here is my PATCH.WXS: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Patch AllowRemoval="yes" Manufacturer="My Company Inc."
