[WiX-users] Force a delta patch to be created
Hi Is it possible to force candle/light to create a delta patch always? ie, I only want the differences (if any) between the files to be placed in my .msp file. Is there a property or something I can set in the .wxs file of my patch to force this?

Re: [WiX-users] Force a delta patch to be created
Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean by ...create a full-file patch if it's smaller. If the only differences between two files is that fact that they've been recompiled, surely the delta patch would create a smaller .msp file? Or to what do you refer to when you say smaller? My MSI by itself might be say 500kb and the MSP file might end up being over 400kb in which case I may as well redistribute the whole MSI. Or is that just the way MSP's work? If so, that's fine. I thought I may be able to create smaller MSP's but I guess, too, a lot is dependent on the algorithm used to compare the differences in the files.

Force, no, but you can suggest it to PatchWiz using PatchCreation/WholeFilesOnly=no but PatchWiz is always free to create a full-file patch if it's smaller (e.g.). -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[WiX-users] Merge Modules and Directory
Hi I have several merge modules which I am placing inside a single MSI. These modules were originally their own MSI, but have converted them to MSM. A couple of these WIX scripts has multiple directory tags. Doing some reading on the MS website (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367787.aspx) one of the first points there states that each merge module must have a single root directory. Using some various values of the directory it never seems to place files which are out of the TARGETDIR in their correct location. It seems this is in keeping with the MS statement above. How do I then have a merge module which might put files in multiple directories? eg, my main installation path and System32 or AppData etc... Also, is it possible to patch these modules/msi?
