Hi,
I've created the patch file using the below steps. 1) Extracted the prev and new msi using msiexec /a TARGETDIR= 2) Using the below patch.wxs script i created the .pcp file. Collapse <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <!-- Include wxi files --> <?include $(sys.CURRENTDIR)includes.wxi ?> <PatchCreation Id="ENTER_YOUR_GUID_HERE" AllowMajorVersionMismatches="no" AllowProductCodeMismatches="no" CleanWorkingFolder="yes" OutputPath="patch.pcp" WholeFilesOnly="no" > <PatchInformation Description="$(var.PatchDesc)" Comments="$(var.PatchDisplayName)" ShortNames="no" Languages="1033" Compressed="yes" Manufacturer="$(var.Manufacturer)"/> <PatchMetadata AllowRemoval="yes" Description="$(var.PatchDesc)" ManufacturerName="$(var.Manufacturer)" TargetProductName="$(var.ProductName)" MoreInfoURL="$(var.OEMUrl)" Classification="Service Pack" DisplayName="$(var.PatchDisplayName)" OptimizedInstallMode="yes"/> <Family DiskId="5000" MediaSrcProp="$(var.OEMProductLine)" Name="$(var.OEMProductLine)" SequenceStart="16000"> <UpgradeImage SourceFile="$(var.UpgradeFileSrc)" Id="UpgradeImage"> <TargetImage SourceFile="$(var.TargetFileSrc)" Order="2" Id="TargetImage" IgnoreMissingFiles="no" /> </UpgradeImage> </Family> <PatchSequence PatchFamily="SCMPatchFamily" Sequence="1.0.0.0" Supersede="yes" /> </PatchCreation> </Wix> Note: Passed the upgrade image and target image through "candle". Using "light" created the .pcp file 3) After creating the .pcp file, created an msp file by running "msimsp.exe -s patch.pcp -p patch.msp -l patch_scm.log" 4)patch.msp is successfully created and in log file i can able to see the modified files. In ORCA also, I can able to see the difference. (Open Prev msi, then Transform->View Patch). 5) But after applying patch, the modifications is not reflected. Please add your suggestions and tell me whether i am missing anything. Thanks, S.
