One more piece of information. When I run the second patch I get the following message for each component (1 per file) for each of the files that were added in the first patch and are still part of the second patch.
Patch Supersedence: Component 'CompPatchedContentDir' is added by a superseded patch and will become orphaned. I looked at both the msi packages via Orca and the component exists in both the 1st and 2nd patch msi's. Why does it say they will be orphaned? I had tried this but when I run the second patch the UI sequence does not get run. Any ideas why this would happen? -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 11:58 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Disallowing uninstallation of patch If you base the second patch on the RTM, itll need the new createfolder table entries in case the first patch is never applied. You need to base the second patch on the patched MSI (RTM + patch 1). -----Original Message----- From: Tom Crozier [mailto:tcroz...@rackwise.com] Sent: 22 February 2011 16:44 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Disallowing uninstallation of patch Hi, What I am trying to accomplish is to first install an unremovable Small Update patch that adds new files into a new directory. (This works) Next is to install a removable Minor Update patch that delivers new versions of the files that were added in the first patch as well as modifications of existing dlls etc... (This does not) What I am getting is the following message in the msi log file: Disallowing uninstallation of patch {D40C91BE-8619-426B-8B11-2AEA5106A767} because it adds new entries to table CreateFolder Even though these files were added in the first patch as well. The first patch is set with AllowRemoval='no' and Supersede="no" and is built against the RTM version. The second patch is set with AllowRemoval='yes' and Supersede=" yes" and is also built against the RTM version. I had tried creating a small test installer and this same sequence seems to work.
