Re: [WiX-users] Patch issue
Its true. But in this case we want this component(file not getting patched) to follow a parent which is getting patched. You need to try this and do a thorough testing of all the scenarios. There is also a other way of tackling this situation, the point is the value in file version field(in the msi cache) which is removed after application of the mst should come back before applying the patch. To get the value back apply another mst and write the value (may be doing a reinstall, so this would re-cache the msi. You need to pass the correct mst via the TRANSFORM property). This needs to be tested. -Original Message- From: Uma Harano [mailto:uhar...@esri.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 10:01 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Patch issue
Use the version lying technique: Change the version of this FileId to 10.1.1 in your patch upgrade image by editing the msi in orca. Then re-build the patch pointing to your edited MSI. When the patch installs on top of the localised version it won't matter that the transform has removed this attribute in the actual local MSI being upgraded. Patching only looks at the file table version changes at the time the patch was created. I.E. the patch 'thinks': this FileId was version incremented when I was built so i'll happily apply the transform to it. (Make sure your actual file verison matches your edits otherwise you'll get request for source issues on repair).
