Subject: [WiX-users] Why does a patch build include same versioned dlls?

Hi

it always bugged me, that creating a patch either with wix or with the msimsp 
patch creation includes dlls which are binary different, but have the same 
version (or where the upgraded installer has a lower version).

When said patch is installed on top of the targeted product, those dlls will 
not end up on the system, if I understand things correctly, because the windows 
installer will actually compare both versions, not the binary hashes.

Is there a reason/rationale behind this patch creation behavior? I failed to 
find one.

Thanks
Jakob
