My question would be what is your baseline? If ver 1 is your RTM release, all patches should be based off of it for easy cumulative patching. If you are doing incremental patching, then 1.2 would require 1.1, and wouldn't supersede it.
Note: My experience with patching is limited, but this is my understanding of how it should be done. I've taken the easy route and jumped to burn, and I just use upgrades instead of patching to avoid a lot of complexity. -----Original Message----- From: Ramjot [mailto:ramjot.si...@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 13, 2015 10:14 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Replace files added in minor upgrade I added a new component to existing product using a minor upgrade. But when in next minor upgrade I try to update this files the update fails. I get the following message in upgrade installation logs :- Component '<component Name>' is added in both the superseded patch and superseding patch. No action taken for this component. Just to make things clear here is the process Ver 1 - MSI - installs file1, file2 Ver1.1 - First MSP - updates file1, file2 and adds file3 Ver1.2 - Second MSP - updates file1, file2 but fails to update file3 with the log given above Ver1.3 - third MSP - updates file1, file2 but fails to update file3 with the same log as above I am using Wix 3.8 Toolset. I have declared both patches as superseding <PatchFamily Id='ProdPatchFamily' Version='$(var.productVersion)' Supersede='yes'> What am I doing wrong here? Or to support upgrade of file 3 I need to issue a major upgrade?
