Melt kind of does an administrative install of the database (msi or msm). It updates the wixpdb Data entries to point to the new location for the files.

Why make the specifying of a source file more arcane with a bind paths binder variable? Especially when the use case is a patch file in the unseen future? IMHO, better to just let us use a -bf flag when we need it. I personally like being able to bind the binary data into the wixout so that it can be moved and used later. Such a useful feature to throw away. Especially when the binder variable is not a great replacement. What's melt got to do with it? Isn't that for merge modules? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Creating-patches-using-wixout-bf-flag-deprecated-tp7598765p7598779.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
