Hi all, Hope you can help me with this one. I have been google-ing but found no solution.
What I have done is upgraded from Wix v3 to Wix v3.6 (because of VS2010 support). I have managed to get everything working just fine except for when building a patch. I get this warning from pyro.exe pyro.exe -nologo ..\Patch\obj\Deploy\Patch_7.17.8.3550.WixMsp -out ..\output\Deploy\Patch_7.17.8.3550.msp -t RTM ..\Patch\obj\Deploy\Diff.wixmst C:\Project\***\Setup\Patch\patch.wxs(10): warning PYRO1079: The cabinet 'RTM.cab' does not contain any files. If this installation contains no files, this warning can likely be safely ignored. Otherwise, please add files to the cabinet or remove it. So, the patch is empty even though I have modified a file which thereby should be included in the patch (and which worked before upgrading wix). Now the CAB-file is always empty in the patch for some reason. The best I could google was this link: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Applying-a-patch-msp-doesn-t-increase-the-product-version-td7173238.html He has almost the exact same problem and he says in hist first post that he got it working when going to v3.5, Is this bug confirmed in 3.6 or is there something other that is wrong? In Diff.wixmst I can see that the file I have altered is mentioned in there but I have no idea if that means it is considered modified or not. I can see some <field> tags there that have a "modified="yes" " attribute, but the filed tags associated with the altered file do not seem to have that attribute. Like the guy in the link above I have tried changing the size and version of the file but to no avail in my case. In my patch.wxs it looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Patch AllowRemoval="no" Manufacturer="***" DisplayName="Upgrade for *** - $(var.Version)" Description="Upgrades *** components" Classification="Update" > <Media Id="5000" Cabinet="RTM.cab"> <PatchBaseline Id="RTM"/> </Media> </Patch> </Wix> I read somewhere that the most common reason for this error is that the PatchBaseline is not matched up correctly with the first argument to pyro after the "-t" flag. But it seems in my case they are both called "RTM"... So, patch gets built without errors but does not include the files for the patch after upgrade to WIX v3.6.
