Hi there, i've finally managed to create a UAC patch from 1.0 to 1.1. This is what i do:
* admininstall msiexec /a old\setuptarget.msi /quiet TARGETDIR=\patch\oldout msiexec /a latest\setupupdate.msi /quiet TARGETDIR=\patch\latestout * create diff file torch -ax \oldout -p -xo \oldout\setuptarget.msi \latestout\setupupdate.msi -out patch\diff.wixmst * create patch wixmsp candle.exe patch.wxs light.exe patch.wixobj -out patch\patch.wixmsp * create patch pyro.exe patch\patch.wixmsp -out patch\patch.msp -t RTM patch\diff.wixmst And then i sign the patch. This seems to work fine. My patch.wxs, that i'm testing with, looks like this: <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Patch AllowRemoval="yes" Manufacturer="Organization" DisplayName="Patch name" Description="Patch description" Comments="Patch comment" Classification="Update" Codepage="1251" > <Media Id="5000" Cabinet="ProductP.cab"> <PatchBaseline Id="RTM"> <Validate ProductId="yes" UpgradeCode="yes" ProductVersionOperator="LesserOrEqual" /> </PatchBaseline> </Media> </Patch> <Fragment> </Fragment> </Wix> Now i want to add cumulative patching in this process. And i'm stuck ... Some questions: How should product id's be handled? Today we're using <Product Id="*" ... /> in in our .msi wxs file. How should we do with these? unique guid for each officially released installer? At the moment we have a hardcoded upgradecode that never changes. Since all our patches will be installable on the previous releases i guess it's fine? Is it possible to add cumulative patching with the way i'm doing things now? Am i missing something important in the patch.wxs? Best regards, Jani The information in this email may be confidential and/or legally privileged.
