Hi all - we have a released product which was built using Wix 3.10.2. I am working on a minor update: purely Wix patching with an .MSP and an enclosing bundle .EXE. We have done these kinds of patches before, most recently with Wix 3.8.
I noticed an odd thing after building the patch with Wix 3.10.2: when uninstalling the patch a repair of the product is triggered. This is a little strange, and I wasn't expecting it. Since the original bundle contains .Net, SQL Server Compact, MongoDB and some other things in addition to our MSI the repair takes a while.
With Wix 3.8 this didn't happen: uninstalling the patch just uninstalled the MSP and that's it. Did this behavior change in Wix 3.9 or later ? Did I do something wrong ? Do I need to do something extra ? Any hints on where to look ?
Thanks for any assistance !
-Rob
