Re: [WiX-users] Help with building patch

[Schmitz, J. <jsc...@me...>]

Bob, is there any way to verify the contents of the wixobj file? 

It seems to me, though I'm just guessing at the functionality inside a black box, that the file comparison is done by compilation of the PatchCreation block by candle, and it's the file comparison that is broken. 

I'm definitely willing to do some troubleshooting as to what's going wrong.

Thanks,
John

If you're using .pcp files, the bug is in msimsp/patchwiz, not WiX. .pcp
files are simple MSI databases. You can open them in Orca and verify
their content.
