The "-delta" switch of pyro builds on top of the whole-file patch support in pyro, so if that isn't working, the delta addition won't do anything to help you.
If you get pyro to build a whole file patch that updates your binaries, then add the -delta switch and test the results. ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Juricic [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 8:48 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] New wix binary delta patching doesn't work Removing -delta option from Pyro's command line gives me the same result: it reports that no files are added to the patch cab. I'll need some time to try with changing the third version number since I'm doing tests on actual builds, not a toy system. I find it interesting that MSP built with Pyro is 3 MB large but patches only the database (where I believe only version and description strings have changed), while MsiMsp created 1.2 MB large MSP which does everything above but patches also the (updated) version resource in more than 50 Dlls and a few signed exes. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 12:04 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Use delta patches but change the build (third) version number? -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
