Or am I, for the time being, still better off with the old-style
administrative installs and PatchCreation?
In my case binary delta is the requirement.
Thanks

Subject: [WiX-users] Two questions about new WiX patching
1) I don't understand how do wixpdb ouputs deal with binary delta
patches? Looking at example commands it appears as if MSI (or binary
files compressed inside MSI cab) are not needed, as if all relevant info
is contained in wixpdb.
Or is it that torch, while working on the differences between 2 wixpdbs,
expects that MSIs are present in respective locations and decompresses
them to find delta patches?
2) Regarding file sequences, if, for example, I have 200 files to
install and possibly need to patch each and every one of them, am I
supposed to increment media Id by 200? So I would start with say:
<Media Id="5000" Cabinet="RTM.cab">
<PatchBaseline Id="RTM"/>
</Media>
Then the next patch would be:
<Media Id="5200" Cabinet="RTM.cab">
<PatchBaseline Id="RTM"/>
</Media>
next
<Media Id="5400" Cabinet="RTM.cab">
<PatchBaseline Id="RTM"/>
</Media>
and so on?
Thanks for any input!
