Hi there,

I have a problem when I try to create a patch using torch and pyro.

What I did until now:
I saved the wixpdb files from the initial installer becaus I read it was 
recommended to do so. Well, I did...

I created a new installer.msi with some changed files along with all 
other files packaged in the initial msi

I executed torch with the following command line:
        torch -p -t patch -xi previous\installer.wixpdb
                current\installer\wixpdb -out current\patch.wixmst
No errors occurred...

I created a patch.wxs where I defined the componentref which has changed 
files and compiled and linked it.
Also no errors...

Than I run pyro with the command line:
        pyro current\patch.wixmsp -out installer_pl1.msp
                -t IdentifierFromPatchWXS current\patch.wixmst

Executing this line causes pyro to complain about missing files. The 
file names printed out are pointing to the files used to create the 
initial installer.msi. this files are not available.

So I am a newbie using pyro and I guess I am missing something to tell 
pyro to just use the files in the current\source folder. Or will pyro 
try to compare the current and the previous file to determine which 
files have changed? Isn't it the job of torch to check what has changed 
in the msi files?

Can someone give me some pointers in how to tell pyro which files to 
package in the patch?

Thanks in advance

Regards, Michel
