Re: [WiX-users] Creating Wix Pure patch with Melt.exe and Pyro.exe fails
I'm bringing a dead horse back from the grave :) I've gotten a little further in my patching quest. Now I've hit a stumbling block in Pyro.exe (v3.8) PatchTransform.Validate() is reporting WixErrors.InvalidRemoveComponent My product has thousands of components, my Patch.wxs only lists two(2) components. The strange thing is that the component that is raising this error is NOT listed in my patch file. Anyone have any suggestions? Have a great weekend everyone.

So I get the .msi and .wixpdb files for say version 1.0 and for version 1.1 Since these files are moved from the original source trees I have to use melt.exe to extract and generate new .wixpdb files so I use the following cmds: Melt.exe 1.0\product.msi -out 1.0x\product.wibpdb -pdb 1.0\product.wixpdb -x 1.0x\Productbits Melt.exe 1.1\product.msi -out 1.1x\product.wixpdb -pdb 1.1\product.wixpdb -x 1.1x\Productbits Once this step is done I trigger the torch.exe, candle, and light.exe commands to generate the wixmst and wixmsp files. Finally I run the pyro.exe -delta on these files to generate the patch and it is at this point it fails with a bunch of PYRO0103 errors. These errors are all referring to files that are missing from the original source directories where they were built from or stored on the build machine.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating Wix Pure patch with Melt.exe and Pyro.exe fails
Thanks Blair, I have created bug #4187. I have added, to the bug, the dropbox link to the zipped up product files that can be used to reproduce the issue as well. So hopefully a solution to this issue can be found or at least maybe let me know what I could possibly be doing that may be causing this issue... But as mentioned using Patch Creation Properties does work and therefore we'll at least go with that for now until this can be fixed. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Creating-Wix-Pure-patch-with-Melt-exe-and-Pyro-exe-fails-tp7590635p7590653.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- DreamFactory - Open Source REST JSON Services for HTML5 Native Apps OAuth, Users, Roles, SQL, NoSQL, BLOB Storage and External API Access Free app hosting.
