I have an interop assembly that breaks my patching. When patch is installed verbose log shows this:
MSI (s) (78:E8) [16:12:06:987]: Baseline: INTEROP.SERVICELIB.DLL not touched in this transaction, verification required. MSI (s) (78:E8) [16:12:06:989]: Baseline: Existing INTEROP.SERVICELIB.DLL version 5.30.2.52 does not match any baseline. Will not be cached. There is no previous info in the log showing that this file is treated any differently than the other files that get cached. The information at Heath Stewart's Blog : http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2006/12/08/source-resolution-during-patch-uninstall.aspx doesn't seem to apply to explain this case because this assembly is not installed in GAC and there are no corresponding MsiAssembly and MsiAssemblyName tables. Since the assembly gets created from the type library, in the beginning I thought the problem is simple and due to the resource version which was always set to 1.0.0.0, even if the code got changed. I fixed this by running the utility that updated file and product version resource after assembly was created. That didn't help. Then I realized that, even if I changed file and product version resource, the assembly version was still fixed at 1.0.0.0 in both RTM and QFE builds. Ok, that got fixed too with the little utility that invokes ildasm and, after editing the manifest version part ilasm. But that didn't help either. MSI insists on not caching the file. So my question is how can I understand what is making MSI treat this assembly so differently? There are no such problems with .NET assemblies that are not interop, but are built from C# source code. If I decide to provide the RTM source MSI, that will fix my current problem with uninstalling QFE1 patch and going back to RTM. But will I be able to apply and remove multiple patches of this assembly? What about dropping from QFE2 to QFE1 if MSI doesn't feel like caching anything about this assembly?
