Hi,
For people having the same issue, here is what I have found.
If there are new folders starting with dot "." ( e.g. folder name '.data' )
added to the upgrade image, installing patch will give the "Error reading
file" error dialog. If removing dot "." and changing ".data" to "data", the
patch

dialog
Leave the file alone (so it doesn't get physically added to the patch) and
set the component that file belongs to as Transient with a condition of "0".

patches and the original MSI (not updated MSIs) until your next baseline
reset.

numbers. The "error reading file" is a new file, but has the same sequence
number as an old file in the base image

I'd suggest verifying that the .pcp file is correct; if so, any bug is
in PatchWiz/MsiMsp, not WiX, so you might want to check out the MSI
newsgroups for help.

Bob,
Thanks for your quick reply. I am not sure about your question "Are the
directories reversed?". I have tested both forward and backward slashes, the
same result. WiX seems to be able to handle forward slash.

Bob,
Thanks. It is my typing error, as I simplified the path when creating this
topic. So the real one is
Base is from build no 5, upgrade is from build no 7.
