Hi,

I have a  big problem for me with installation of patch and i cant find any solutions for this. I use Wix 3.0 and its new patch system.
I have following code parts :

Old.wxs is almost the same like Fixed.wxs (only a few changes in components and Product Version 3.6.0 => 3.7.0) :

<Product Name="!(loc.Product.Name)" Id="FC5DAD94-199A-4492-A2EA-179FBFD749A5" Codepage="1250" Language="1029" Version="3.6.0" Manufacturer="Systemart s.r.o." UpgradeCode="C9C9E9EA-F958-4B01-AAD8-893109A1CAF4">
<Package Keywords="!(loc.Package.Keywords)" Description="!(loc.Package.Description)" Comments="!(loc.Package.Comments)" Manufacturer="!(loc.Product.Manufacturer)" InstallerVersion="405" Languages="1029" Compressed="yes" SummaryCodepage="1250" />
<Media Id="1" Cabinet="Product.cab" EmbedCab="yes" DiskPrompt="CD-ROM #1" CompressionLevel="high"/>
........ and so one ...

Patch.wxs ( according to   : http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php#4.3)

  <Patch AllowRemoval="yes" Manufacturer="company" Codepage="1250" MoreInfoURL="www.url.cz" DisplayName="Product 3.7.0 patch" Description="Product update" Classification="Update">
    <Media Id="10000" Cabinet="ProductPatch.cab">
      <PatchBaseline Id="ProductPatch" />
    </Media>
    <PatchFamily ProductCode="FC5DAD94-199A-4492-A2EA-179FBFD749A5" Id="ProductPatch" Version="3.7.0" Supersede="no">
    </PatchFamily>
  </Patch>
</Wix>

Building of patch is successful (only with a few warning like "File 'File.Generated.105' in Component 'Component.Generated.6' was changed, but the KeyPath file 'File.Generated.101' was not.", but its ok)

Then I install full 3.6.0 version => no problem.
But if i try install patch 3.6.0 -> 3.7.0 i get error with following log:
