2013-10-30 Thread TimM
I am currently testing the creation of WiX patches using Patch Creation Properties. Now I am trying this over Pure WiX patches because the versions that we will initially be patching have already been released and when they were built they were NOT built to generate the .wixpdb files. So we have to

What would be really handy is a ba/ux with a feature tree selection driving multiple msi packages. This would need to be in addition to WixStdBA, but "getting it right" and doing it in a reusable way isn't a trivial task. Handling upgrades would be especially tricky as a bundle can't currently
