I have got an application, precisely two versions of an application.
Each of both version consists of one .MSI and one .CAB files.
How to create a patch .MSP from first version to second one?
I am trying to accomplish this with following:

I am not able to involve .CAB in patch creation process...

You need to unpack the CABs. To do this run an administrative install (msiexec /a) of the packages to uncompress the files.

I found a hint in the thread "How to create small update, What are the step - by - step procedure". It was needed to change Revision Number in Properties of a .MSI file. I got a .MSP yet. I will test it to see whether it is usable.

Yes, it is important that you change the package code GUID whenever you rebuild your msi file.
