Have you seen these articles?

Coming to your actual issue, if you're not altering files [quote:Modifications related to files have not been done], patching seems pretty pointless. It seems to me your changes could be performed via script.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
If i am required to create a patch with changes in the dialog sequence, Custom Actions included, property value changes, etc, I can go ahead and create a patch with all these changes included.. Am i right?
For your information, I am using msimsp.exe to create a patch, not Quick Patch project.
Thanks.[/align][/align]

FWIW, what you're outlining amounts to what most of the clients I've worked with would regard as a new package release, meaning a new MSI would be required, albeit one which retains Product Code etc.

We had a release before 3 months only. Then I started to work on this and fixed some issues related to installer. Now my client wanted to include all my fixes in a patch.
Also, I am very new to patch. That is why, I need to make sure whether all my said fixes can be included in a patch, so I can inform the client that patch can be created or if not, I need to specify valid reasons.
VBScab, I understand creating a patch for this purpose is not worth it. But after all the client requires it, so pls advise me whether we can really create a patch with all my fixes with the ‘msimsp.exe’ tool.
Thanks a lot.
