Re: [WiX-users] How to patch elements in InstallExecuteSequence table?
I can offer a workaround. Add a Property in the same fragment as the update you want to reference and then reference that property in your patch family. Alternatively, you can create a patch with no patch families if you are willing to include all the changes in the product. This is something that we need to figure out a way to improve where entire fragments exist with nothing referencable by a normal reference. If you'd like to file a sourceforge bug we can look at finding a better solution. -Peter My team is hiring.
