msp file has only 2 tables, MsiPatchMetadata and MsiPatchSequence.
but the baseline and the upgraded msi files has fileversion row in tghe
MsiAssemblyName table currectly.

Sajid.


That does show that the file is not being replaced. I am wondering whether
the patch generating tool is doing the equivalent of the -fv. Can you open
the patch in Orca and check that the FileVersion row is in the
MsiAssemblyName table.

I'm afraid I have only ever done this as a major upgrade, I don't think
it should matter.


But would I have to change the version number for the major upgrd? All we
have is a minor change to one of the assemblies and this assembly could be
used to host a strongly typed remoting object. if I change the version I
will have to update the client configuratio with the latest version number,
that is the reason we dont change the assembly version, we make sure the
changes we do is compatible with the old version.

did you mean an upgrade which re-installs whole system?

Re: [WiX-users] Patch build with GAC update

2008-06-18 Thread Wilson, Phil 
The way this works is that file version can be used to do an in-place update of 
the assembly in the GAC. An assembly's file version defaults to its .NET 
assembly version, but you can add an AssemblyFileVersion to give the assembly a 
file version that's different from the assembly version. The file version does 
not affect binding clients.  The resulting MSI file will have a FileVersion row 
in the MsiAssemblyName table.

I assume you'll need to make your new file version higher than your current 
assembly version (=file version) to replace your GAC assembly.

Unless I am mistaken this will only be true if you use the -fv option to

[WiX-users] Patch build with GAC update

2008-06-17 Thread Wix User 
I have followed the examples given in
http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx

but I have a few components with assemblies registering to GAC.
when I create a patch with the latest and deployed, it does not
replace in the GAC. I will not be making any assembly version changes
because it will break all the other references and I do not want to
have multiple versions in the GAC. only the file version will be
changed.

any idea?

By default Windows Installer doesn't check the file version for files in
the GAC (only assembly version). If you use the -fv command line option
with light it will set a flag in the MSI to make it check the file
version.

I hope this helps.

Subject: [WiX-users] Patch build with GAC update

I have followed the examples given in
http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx

but I have a few components with assemblies registering to GAC.
when I create a patch with the latest and deployed, it does not
replace in the GAC. I will not be making any assembly version changes
because it will break all the other references and I do not want to
have multiple versions in the GAC. only the file version will be
changed.

any idea?
