They can be used in patch generation. Other than that, I haven't found them very useful.

Subject: [WiX-users] .wixpdb usage Hello Everyone and good day, As part of our automated build process I back up all generated .wixpdb files. I'm just wondering how useful these are when debugging a crash or hang of an MSI when given a dump file from a customer. Can they be used at all? I need the .wixpdb files for generating our patches via the "Pure WiX Patching" method but I don't necessarily need to keep any around long term other than the RTM ones. I've been googling a lot over the past few hours and haven't found any concrete evidence of what else these files are useful for. Thanks!
