As part of my first foray into the world of patching, I have been tasked with creating hotfix patches for our product. As part of the daily build, the version numbers for all files in the product are incremented, but I only want to patch the specific files that were fixed as part of the hotfix.
After reading through the tutorial, various blogs, and the mailing list archives, I got the implication that adding a ComponentRef as a child of my PatchFamily would do what I want, so I went ahead and created a patch for Component A. After installing the patch, not only was the file in Component A updated to the new version, so were all other files that had changed between the builds. Is there some way to create a patch that only includes a single file, despite the two .wixpdb files used to create it having many other differences, or would I need to generate the patch using a .wixpdb file that only contained the change for the file I wish to patch? -Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
