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.

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

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

[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.

I wasn't suggesting you had to do a major update only that that was all I had 
done. Have you tried enabling the logs during the install to see what it says 
when it tried to install the file?

when I create a patch with the latest and deployed, it does not

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.
