Re: [WiX-users] How does Torch decide which files changed?!
Torch marks up the database changes. Including -p causes it to leave the unchanged portions of the database intact so they will be present for Pyro to use in its processing. It is Pyro that looks at the two files and determines if they are the same or not, and it promotes files that compare as different to be considered as changed and thus be included with the other marked database changes. If you use WIXOUT or WIXPDB files then fragment boundaries are considered in the comparisons, so if you specify references to things to include in your patch family/families, things that are not in any referenced fragments are ignored (by design). Look for the files you are concerned with in the WIXMST file. You should find either paths or references to cabinet-ids for both the updated and the previous versions of the files.

[WiX-users] Visual C++ 2010 Merge Module
I have made an installer in WIX which embeds 2 merge modules: the Microsoft_VC100_CRT_x86.msm merge module, and my own module (let's call this one MyMergeModule.msm for now). When I embed the VC merge module before MyMergeModule, I get a lot of warnings that some actions can not be merged from MyMergeModule.msm. When the installer is used, it turns out that the registry keys located in MyMergeModule.msm are not written to the registry. If I change the order in which the merge modules are embedded, the warnings are gone and the registry keys are being written successfully. Can someone tell me whether this is a bug in the VC merge module, or how to deal with this issue?

[WiX-users] msp patch does not update one of files
Hello, I've created msp patch for my product. It must convert 3.1.4 version to 3.1.5 After I install it, it updates all needed files, changed in 3.1.5, except one file. This file is key file of component, containing only this file. How can I explore why it is happening? When I open msp file in Orca, I do not see list of files, msp contains. 1. How can I view list of files, msp contains? So that I could check, is there problem file. 2. How can I find the reason, why msiexec does not copy this file from msp to the place of old file? -- Thanks! -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
