[wix-users] Patch not showing up in the 'View Installed updates' with Burn

[Tyler Gustafson]

So just to clarify, you had an msi and you could rev the version then create a patch (msp). When you installed the msi and then applied the msp you could see the msp in the installed updates and uninstall it to drop your product back down to the base version.
Next you bundled your msi into a bootstrapper.
Now when you install the bundle and then run the patch against it, it updates but you don't see the patch in the installed updates screen?

If that is all correct, and those are the only changes you made, are you including the base version of the msi in your bundle or are you using the updated version? You want to be using the base version only since having the updated version in there will bring you right to the updated version and you won't end up applying a "patch".

The MSI is in the bootstrapper.

I then just use the admin command line to install the patch. msiexec /p Patch.msp /passive

Are you using an msp or an msi inside your bootstrapper? As I understand it, only upgrades applied with msp show up in the view installed updates screen.

Hi all.


I have an existing MSI that was patching and rolling back fine. I have started a new burn project and added my MSI and all is well except they do not show in 'View Installed updates' on the Program and Features screen. Patching does work though.


I did notice there was an UpgradeCode in the Bundle.wxs. How does that effect upgrade codes in other products.


My patches are based off of the MSI and not the final bootstrapper. I think that is right or as I am writing this...  do I have to patch against the Bootstrapper?


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
