Wix Patch generation erros

I used transformation to generate components for the files and each time the transformation generates new GIDs. This can be probably a problem this is my transformation

because when generating a patch I get a list of errors for each component. Since the list of components changes each time new GUIs are generated

real screen of errors My Patch.wsx file look like this:

<Wix xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs">
  <Patch
    AllowRemoval="yes"
    DisplayName="Product Patch v$(Version)"
    Description="Product Patch v$(Version)"

    </Media>

    <PatchFamily Id="SequenceFamily" Version="1.1.1" />

And i build it with this command:

wix build -define Version=2.0 -bindpath C:\Users\purbanski\source\repos\SAMPLE-onroad\src\SAMPLEonroad\SAMPLEonroadInstallerWix\bin\x86\Release\en-us -bindpath C:\Users\purbanski\source\repos\SAMPLE-onroad\src\SAMPLEonroad\SAMPLEonroadInstallerWix\bin\x86\Release\en-us  -out MyPatchV1V2.msp Patch.wxswix build -define Version=2.0 -bindpath C:\Users\purbanski\source\repos\SAMPLE-onroad\src\SAMPLEonroad\SAMPLEonroadInstallerWix\bin\x86\Release\en-us -bindpath C:\Users\purbanski\source\repos\SAMPLE-onroad\src\SAMPLEonroad\SAMPLEonroadInstallerWix\bin\x86\Release\en-us  -out MyPatchV1V2.msp Patch.wxs

I traing build patch

Solution

  • If you generate unique GUIDs during harvesting then MSPs will not be possible. That is a fundamental design limitation of the Windows Installer.
