Hi all, Hi all, I am trying to develop a "Small patch" for Our product via wixpdb way with the patch wxs as::
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Patch AllowRemoval="yes" Classification="Update" Comments="Abra ka dabra" Description="dabra ka abra" DisplayName="patch" Manufacturer="AAA" TargetProductName="XXX"> <Media Id="100" Cabinet="Data1.Cab"> <PatchBaseline Id="patch" /> </Media> <PatchFamily Id="MyPatchFamily" Version="1.0.1709.0" ProductCode="8AB21D86-21F0-430A-9AD1-2D90077104C3" Supersede="yes"> <ComponentRef Id="cm_cbengine.exe.config" /> <ComponentRef Id="cm_VhdFileProvider.dll" /> </PatchFamily> </Patch> </Wix> I want to patch just 2 files in this patch.. cbengine.exe.config and VhdFileProvider.dll The steps which I do are.. Build the product with version 1.0.1709.0. Change the config file Increment the version Rebuild the product... candle.exe patch.wxs light.exe patch.wixobj torch.exe -p -xi CloudBackupProviderolder.wixpdb CloudBackupProvidernewer.wixpdb -out Patch.wixmst pyro.exe patch.wixmsp -t patch Patch.wixmst -out Patch.msp This patch gets generated and I am able to apply it. But I see that all the dlls have the version updated... Is that expected? And is it copying all the dlls? If yes does the patch also contains all the dlls. ? Again if yes then whats the use of adding <ComponentRef Id="cm_VhdFileProvider.dll" /> Also, In the logs for all dlls I see:: MSI (s) (DC:4C) [15:04:13:968]: Executing op: CacheBaselineFile(Baseline=0,FileKey=F__VhdFileProvider.dll,FilePath=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Cloud Backup Provider\bin\VhdFileProvider.dll,,Existing=1) MSI (s) (DC:4C) [15:04:13:981]: Executing op: CacheRTMFile(SourceFilePath=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Cloud Backup Provider\bin\VhdFileProvider.dll,FileKey=F__VhdFileProvider.dll,,ProductCode={8AB21D86-21F0-430A-9AD1-2D90077104C3},ProductVersion=1.0.1709,Attributes=4608,,,,CopierFlags=0,,,,,,) MSI (s) (DC:4C) [15:04:13:981]: Executing op: RegisterSharedComponentProvider(PatchGUID={7BF6F157-1695-40CC-B4E8-A6124BE55390},MediaCabinet=#Data1.Cab,File=F__VhdFileProvider.dll,Component={207B3B2A-04BF-4665-A6AB-76E3BC87D48F},ComponentVersion=1.0.1710.0,ProductCode={8AB21D86-21F0-430A-9AD1-2D90077104C3},ProductVersion=1.0.1709,PatchSize=0,PatchAttributes=0,PatchSequence=10056,SharedComponent=0,IsFullFile=1) MSI (s) (DC:4C) [15:04:13:997]: Executing op: FileCopy(SourceName=VHDFIL~1.DLL|VhdFileProvider.dll,SourceCabKey=F__VhdFileProvider.dll,DestName=VhdFileProvider.dll,Attributes=4608,FileSize=1633792,PerTick=65536,,VerifyMedia=1,,,,,CheckCRC=0,Version=1.0.1710.0,Language=1033,InstallMode=58982400,,,,,,,) MSI (s) (DC:4C) [15:04:13:998]: File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Cloud Backup Provider\bin\VhdFileProvider.dll; Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is a lower version MSI (s) (DC:4C) [15:04:13:998]: Source for file 'F__VhdFileProvider.dll' is compressed MSI (s) (DC:4C) [15:04:13:999]: Re-applying security from existing file. MSI (s) (DC:4C) [15:04:14:001]: Verifying accessibility of file: VhdFileProvider.dll There is a wont patch field in the log.. Does it means that its not getting patched?? Is there a way I can ask the patch to just send limited files...
