Do I need to install the old installer, or only providing the old one to
msimsp is enought?

Hi Brian, thanks for your answer. The problem is that if I use a copressed version, I receive the following error: 0xC00E5116 msimsp -s patch_30_1.pcp -p patch_30_1.msp -l msi msp_30_1.log -d "Failed to create patch.

[WiX-users] Error when changing the compression
Hi Guys, I'm creating an uncompressed version of my installer because that's one of the requirement for creating a patch. The problem is that when I set Compressed="no", the final installer is 3 times smaller than the compressed one. I tried running it and I got an error which said that one of the files is not found. Does anyone have the same problem? Thanks!

Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch fails in Wix 3.0
Yes, you're 100% right. if the default value is empty, then the answer is that the folder doesn't exist even if it does. I changed the example to ask for a value inside it, and it worked. I copy the new version for the sake of the community :-) Thanks, Erich.

Re: [WiX-users] How to create folders and shortcuts in the Start Menu? (Wix 3.0)
I have read it, but it doesn't say anything about it (there are 2 mentions only about the way of creating shortcuts, but nothing about creating shortcuts and folders in the Start Menu).

[WiX-users] How to create folders and shortcuts in the Start Menu? (Wix 3.0)
Hi guys, I couldn't find any working example of how to create a folder in the Start Menu and then include some shortcuts inside. It looks to be quite easy, but I couldn't find the way to do that. Does anybody have any good example?
