I had a question about whether a feature is supported and haven't seen any
WiX documentation that really answers my question. Basically I was curious
as to how patches could be installed and supersede each other based on the
base used to create the patch.

Hey! I think I was able to finally solve this issue which also related so
other issues with alternate patching not working. The reason for all the
trouble seemed to be the use of RegistryKey entries for non advertised
shortcuts in the related components
Source=$(var.PATH)\Filename.exe
Shortcut Id=Shortcut1 Directory=ProductProgramMenuFolder Name=File
Name WorkingDirectory=directoryBin Advertise=yes
/File
/Component
In case anyone else out there has a similar issue, after making this change
everything worked fine!

Hello,
How does the directory for the binaries and docs get set when the user
chooses a non-default install directory? It sounds like this isn't
happening in any maintenance operations.

When you refer to the currently installed location
All of the components are listed as:

This is actually another cry for help on what's probably a related issue with
installing a patch when users install to an alternate directory. The
original issue was that when patching our product the patch only works when
the user installs to the default directory, if they choose their own the
small updates or minor
upgrades? If so, the patch application won't let you patch anywhere other
than the currently installed location since the keypath of the components
can't be changed without a major upgrade.

I've been having an issue with my WiX patch which I haven't been able to find
any information for. The company I work for wants to give users the freedom
to install our product in a directory of their choice. We've given the
installer a default directory which can be changed at install time by
I ended up figuring this out on my own, it looks like the installer became
corrupted somehow so rebuilding the patch from scratch corrected the issue.
Not sure what caused the corruption though.
