Hi ,
It may sound stupid but I am confused with the samples available online for
creating a Patch or minor update using Wix Toolset.
Is there a straight forward tutorial which tells me how to create a patch
(minor update) installer using Visual Studio 2010?
The steps would be:
a. Create New project -> Select Windows Installer XML->Setup Project.
b. Write the installer for a Sample Product which has 2 files. You
right click on the project and hit build then it creates the installer msi.
c. Now to create a "Patch.wxs" in the same solution (?) for the minor
update for the Sample Product which replaces only one of the 2 files
installed.
i. What should be the tags for GUID, Family DiskID etc.?
ii.. Should it be separate VS solution?
iii. I tried adding the Patch.wxs in the same solution which
contains Product.wxs , why does it not build and create a patch ".msi"?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Aseem Chiplonkar
