Does your changed file have a version resource and, if so, did the version
increase in the updated file ?

I found your original message and it looks like you're updating a PDF. Those

You can't change the name of the MSI in a minor/small update
You should change version of the file which is included in the patch.

I cannot suggest a solution for the patch problem you currently have, but I
