Subject: [WiX-users] patch not patching registry I have created a patch based on two admin installs using candle, light and msimsp. In the install I write the version number to a specified registry location. However when I apply the patch, it is not updating the registry to the new value. How do I make a patch that also applies any registry changes too? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?
