Sounds wixpdb files only contain infomation about where to find the files. For example, 1,You have a ".\a.txt" file,it's content is "old version". 2,After you build the old version,"old.wixpdb" refer to ".\a.txt". 3,You change the ".\a.txt"'s content to "new version". 4,You build the new version,now "new.wixpdb" also refer to ".\a.txt". 5,You use torch.exe to calculate the difference between the "old.wixpdb" and "new.wixpdb", they both refer to ".\a.txt" and the content is "new version". Maybe you can put the old version files and new version files in different directory and try. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
