Reciently, we have grown a need to starting patching our application

produce nice results until we starting adding or removing files. At
which point it failes completely. New files are always added, removed
files are never removed, and modified files are always left in their
old revisions. It's important to note that we have a application which
will scan our dynamic directories and add to the wix file all files
and directories it finds, and I'm afraid that this is causing issues
for us.
If you're generating your IDs and GUIDs, then you won't realistically be
able to create patches. See, for example,
http://blogs.msdn.com/windows_installer_team/archive/2007/03/07/arbitrary-labels-used-as-primary-keys-must-not-be-changed-between-versions.aspx
for why.
