Well I just did a test of Patch Creation using two different builds of our next release of our software, which the .msi files are 118 MB in size, and if I set the WholeFilesOnly="yes" the patch .msp size is 20MB. Now if I set the WholeFilesOnly="no" then the size of the .msp is only 3.8 MB. Way smaller.
So for the extra step of extracting the .msi files you get the ability to have a bit difference instead of whole files and you do not have to create a PatchFamily with all the known components that may of changed.... So just have to see about getting this WholeFilesOnly from PatchCreation into Pure WiX and we would be good to go.... -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Purely-WiX-patching-and-FeatureRef-tp7590049p7590484.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
