hope someone out there helps this poor neophyte...

i have 2 msi packages created using the Deployment Project in .NET, with one package being V1.00 and the other is V1.01. however, V1.00 has some files that are no longer in the latest version. i need to create a patch for these using ISX Basic MSI Project. after placing the patch configuration settings, i built the patch, and errors on missing components were detected, which was pretty much expected.

is it possible to create a patch given the above conditions using teh Basic MSI project? how do i proceed?

thanks!

You cannot remove components in a minor update (full msi or patch). This is a limitation in the design of MSI. You can remove files from components, but not components from features.
