Hi,
I am able to make Patch1 based on http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/upgrades-and-modularization/patchwo rk but I am falling back when making subsequent workable patches. Can any one tell me if I am missing any step while I am doing Patch2. Step1: Add new components into wix and update source folder with modified binaries Step2: Update Product.wxs [I had the version "4.5.0.36" for base install and ="4.5.1.36" for Patch1 install. I have left Product id same for Base and Patch1 install] <Product Id="{D3CE06DA-4B3F-4A85-841D-49F301125BC4}" Name="Demo Application" Language="1033" Version="4.5.2.36" Manufacturer="XYZ" UpgradeCode="{9F488C10-B558-40B1-8F6A-DDAB38646717}"> Step3:Create patch creation Patch2.wxs file as below <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Patch Description="Minor Update Patch" DisplayName="Patch Version: $(var.Version)" AllowRemoval="yes" Classification="Update" MoreInfoURL="http://www.ifdspercana.com/"; Manufacturer="XYZ" > <!--AllowRemoval attribute allow the patch to be removed after it's been applied without having to uninstall the entire product--> <!-- Id must be higher than any sequence number in the baseline msi's Media/File table.
