[wix-users] Include whole files in Pyro patch?

[Rob Mensching]

When Office abandoned delta patching due to too many "poor behaviors" (bugs?) in the Windows Installer, I lost a lot of interest trying to make delta patching work.

IIRC, not currently. I don't remember if we opened a feature to enable that behavior or not.

Hi there,

(my 3rd and last posting concerning patches for today)

trying to evaluate the "Pyro way" of patching, I found that there is a pyro command-line option "-delta" to create binary delta patches, so I guess that including all the files as whole files is default behaviour.

With a PCP, it is possible to fine-tune this behaviour, i.e. to specify for each file of the "upgraded image", i.e. the newest image, whether it shall be included as a whole file or as a delta (in WiX: UpgradeFile/@WholeFile). Is this also possible with pyro?

Best regards
