Hello,
First, thanks for the reply. No I'm not using heat, I'll look. I'm
currently generating my GUIDS with a perl script for the 1st install and we
planned to create a program that will create the RemoveFile entry for deleted
files, add the new files. I downloaded a weekly build from the website and it
resolved my pyro problem. I can now generate patch with the files I manually
edited. I'll search for more info about a component catalog.
Just to be sure. If a file is deleted I need to change
<Component Id="bla.build_1" Guid="{6CB5A96B-2470-4F61-A237-8B8FC9853BCC}">
<File Id="bla.build_1" Name="bla.build" KeyPath="yes"
Source="x:\Data\bla.build" DiskId="1" />
</Component>
For
<Component Id="bla.build_1" Guid="{6CB5A96B-2470-4F61-A237-8B8FC9853BCC}">
<RemoveFile Id="bla.build_1" Name="bla.build" KeyPath="yes"
Source="x:\Data\bla.build" DiskId="1" />
</Component>
It's give me error about the keypath. I've read in the doc and I'm not sure
about what the keypath attribute does.
Thanks for your reactivity!
Best regards,
Patrice Lamarche

Hey Patrice,
Have you tried using heat.exe ?? Since you have so many files you
might want to take a look at that. You point it to you folder and it writes out
the wxs file for you including all the reg keys for DLL's etc.
If order to build patch's and minor versions your going to need to
reconcile your GUIDS and ID. The tool you need I believe this community calls
it a "component catalog", and as far as I'm aware it does not exist.
Unfortunately when you use heat it will not generate GUIDS and you
need to maintain them and the ID's yourself. Remember to not break any of the
component rules (whatever they are).
I have written what I think is a component catalog, however I don't
have enough knowledge to ensure all component rules are not broken so it's just
something I'm playing with at this point.
Jimbo

Subject: [WiX-users] New to wix 3.0 ( 3.0.2925.0)
Hello everyone,
We are stating using WiX. I'm searching for some help about how to
structure our wxs file. We have a lot (more than 60K) files. The format we use
currently is one file per component and one feature containing all the
components. I have to build patch between minor version that remove, update and
add new files. Is there any best practices or suggestions?
I did some tests. I correctly generated a setup. I tried the patching system
with pyro. I based my Patch.wxs on the Peter Marcu's Blog sample. My sample did
work but it's took long time to generate the patch for only one file modified.
Pyro looks to do a binary compare on each file can we specify to check if the
file date have changed if not skip to the next file?
Now I'm trying with a smaller set of files to test removed files and added
files into a patch but I get this error
C:\delivery\Dev\wix\src\ext\uiextension\wixlib\Common.wxs(73) : error PYRO0103
: The system cannot find the file
'C:\delivery\Target\wix\x86\ship\lang-neutral\PrintEula.dll'.
I'm currently updating my sdk to build wix. And get the dll
Thanks you for yours advices.
Best Regards,
Patrice Lamarche
