Subject: [WiX-devs] Patches Issue

Hi,

This is the first time I am working to create the patch. From the WIX documentation I am able to create the first patch without any difficulty but doing the second patch is giving me a hard time. I am using the original RTM of our application for the base of our patch and I am trying to do the cumulative patch. When I compile my patch creation project, it compiles fine and create the new MSP file but when I run, it doesn't installs the patch 2 and just leaves the patch 1 as it is. I tried running it with the log but I didn't saw any useful information. I did some googling and found some approaches which I tried but none of them worked. So I am looking for some help over here. I am pasting the project file code and .wxs file code.

Project File
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
    <CreateProperty Value="ProductPatch.msi">
      <Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="VersionedOutputName" />
    </CreateProperty>
    <RemoveDir ContinueOnError="true" Directories="$(TargetDir)tmp" />
    <MakeDir Directories="$(TargetDir)tmp;$(TargetDir)tmp\rtm;$(TargetDir)tmp\new;$(TargetDir)tmp\msi" />
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(OriginalMSILocation)\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\Product $(InstallerSuffixMarketVersion)$(UnderScoreIfBuildFlavour)$(BuildFlavour).msi" DestinationFiles="$(TargetDir)tmp\msi\OriginalProduct.msi" />
    <Copy SourceFiles="..\..\..\bin\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\en-us\ProductInstaller.msi" DestinationFiles="$(TargetDir)tmp\msi\UpdatedProduct.msi" />
    <Exec Command="msiexec.exe /a &quot;$(TargetDir)tmp\msi\UpdatedProduct.msi&quot; /quiet TARGETDIR=&quot;$(TargetDir)tmp\new&quot;" />
    <Exec Command="msiexec.exe /a &quot;$(TargetDir)tmp\msi\OriginalProduct.msi&quot; /quiet TARGETDIR=&quot;$(TargetDir)tmp\rtm&quot;" />
    <!-- create pcp -->
    <Exec Command="&quot;$(WIX_DIR)\light.exe&quot; &quot;obj\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\ProductPatch.wixobj&quot; -cultures:en-us -loc &quot;Loc_en-us.wxl&quot; -out &quot;obj\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\ProductPatch.pcp&quot;" />
    <!-- create patch-->

    <Copy SourceFiles="obj\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\ProductPatch.msp" DestinationFiles=".\..\..\..\bin\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\en-us\ProductPatch.msp" />
  </Target>

      </Family>
      <PatchSequence PatchFamily="ProductPatchFamily" Sequence="$(var.FullVersion)" Supersede="yes" />
   </PatchCreation>
</Wix>

Please let me know if there any more detail required.
