[wix-users] Patch sequencing issue

[Steve De George]

Hi all.


I am trying to get a patch sequence working.

So basically I want to install say version 6.17.0. Then patch to 6.17.1, 6.17.2, 6.17.3 and so on. I want to keep the versions in the ARP list (View installed updates) so that if there is an issue with 6.17.3 I can roll back to 6.17.2


What is happening now is when I install patch 6.17.1 I get an entry into the ARP list (View installed updates) that shows 6.17.1 and the ARP itself also shows 6.17.1 - all looks good.


If I then install patch 6.17.2 it seem to overwrites the ARP list (View installed updates) with itself. I can no longer see 6.17.1 ARP list (View installed updates) but do see 16.17.2  Again if I install patch 6.17.3 the same thing happens. Just a single entry in the ARP list (View installed updates)


So question wise is how do I get the sequencing working?  Below is my patch.wxs  What am I missing?

Thanks all!!!!!
