Greetings.
I hate to barge in and immediately begin asking questions, but there's been
something eluding me that I don't quite understand. I've created a pair of
installers according to the instructions I was able to find in the docs for
successfully creating patches using pyro (extrapolating, of course, to my full
installer rather than a couple of text files).
The problem is that if I try to run the generated msp as suggested:
msiexec /p patch/patch.msp
Windows Installer simply brings up the maintenance dialog for the currently
installed version, instead of patching it. Is there something totally obvious
that I'm missing here? I've tried running with REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE
variables declared at the command line, but it seems that doing so overrides
AllowRemoval="yes" and also throws a UAC prompt in Vista, which I'd rather not
do. Both MSIs are signed, as is the MSP.
Thanks in advance. Word of warning: I'm not a programmer by trade; I started
developing our setup packages in WiX because no one else wanted to do it and I
didn't like using InstallShield.
