Sure thing. It was a long day so sorry for the lack of detail. Attached you'll
find the wxs for the installs and the patches, and the batch files I use. I
pass the version numbers into the batch files which in turn pass them along to
WiX. I create the installs with buildInstall 0.3.0.0 for example, then the
patches with buildPatch 0.3.0.0 0.3.1.0.

I've created patches which do exactly what you're trying to do but from
your description I can't pinpoint where you're going wrong.
If you could post the .wxs file you're using to create your .pcp file, I
or someone else on the list should be able to help point you in the
right direction.

Subject: [WiX-users] How To Create Successive Patches That
SupersedePrevious?
I tried looking through the digests on sourceforge but couldn't find a
way to search, and didn't see this question answered so I apologize if
it's a duplicate.
I am trying to create patches for a product that will each be all
encompassing of the previous ones, and want anybody at any version to be
able to install the latest patch. Following the instructions on the
site I can create patches just fine, so I can install 0.3.0.0 then patch
from 0.3.0.0 to 0.3.1.0. I created my 0.3.2.0 patch from 0.3.0.0 (to
encompass the 0.3.1.0 stuff) and when I apply it it says it cannot as
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service
because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch
may update a different version of the program." In my PatchFamily tag I
have set the version to be the new version in both patches (so 0.3.1.0
and 0.3.2.0), and Supersede=yes for both. Is there something else I'm
missing? From my understanding of the documentation the
MsiPatchSequence table should have increasing numbers for all my patches
and they should supersede each other just fine, but obviously I'm wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
