If you do an admin install from the source and target MSI's, you get the files.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Patch with a simple file change

I browsed the bug database and eventually found out "
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2086871&group_id=105970&atid=642714
pyro actually diffs the files on disk " and not from inside the MSIs.  In other 
words, the 'before' and 'after' copy of files have to exist at the same time in 
different source directories.

That's annoying because then I have to keep old copies of files (multiple gigs 
in large directory structure) in addition to the copies of these files are 
already in the previous MSIs.  I think I have to make sure that the source 
paths for files point to the correct directory structures (old vs.
new).  It would be nice if pyro just fetched them from the MSIs.

I think this will be a feature request. ;)
