Hi Blair,
Thanks for your help. When I look in my .wixmst I see the PublishComponent
table and it has the correct value. The value of "op" is "add" and there is no
"previousData" attribute. I assume this is correct, since this is a new
component rather than a component that is being updated.
My PatchFamily contains a ComponentRef to the component which has the category
I'm trying to update. Here is an example of my authoring.
MSI Authoring:
<Component Id="CP.My.Component" Directory="DT.My.Directory" Guid="MY-GUID">
<Category Id="My-Category-GUID" Qualifier="My-Category-Qualifier"
AppData="!(loc.Category.Description)" />
<File Id="FL.My.File" Name="File.exe" Source="C:\File.exe" KeyPath="yes" />
</Component>
<Feature Id="FT.My.Feature" Title="My Feature" Absent="disallow"
AllowAdvertise="no" Description="My Feature" Display="collapse"
InstallDefault="followParent" Level="1" TypicalDefault="install">
<ComponentRef Id="CP.My.Component"/>
<ComponentRef Id="CP.Another.Component"/>
</Feature>
MSP Authoring:
<PatchFamily Id='PF.My.Component' Version='$(var.ProductVersion)'
Supersede='no'>
<ComponentRef Id='CP.My.Component'/>
</PatchFamily>
Thanks!
Jeff

Two (sets of) questions:
1. Does your PatchFamily have any children or is it empty? If it has
children, what are they?
2. Please look in your .wixmst file for the <table name="PublishComponent">
element and look for the row where the category is modified. Do you see the
new value in a field of that row? Do you see the old value in the
previousData attribute of the field? And do you see an attribute named "op"
with a value of "modify" in that row?
Just trying to isolate if the change didn't get picked up by torch or if it
was being ignored by pyro.

Subject: [WiX-users] Category not updated with patch
Hi all,
I have a component that contains both a category and a file. This is a new
component that didn't exist in the old MSI. I've added this component to my
patch, and the file is getting updated correctly but the category isn't
touched. I used Orca and applied my msp to the original MSI and verified
that the "PublishComponent" table does not get modified with the new
category. How can I patch a category with an msp? I understand that if I
do this my MSP can't be uninstallable.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Jeff
