Hi,
Wonder if anyone can provide some advice on the patching issue.
My problem is, after applying the patch, the patched files will be cached in C:\windows\installer\$PatchCache$\Managed\{GUID}\... folders.
Why is it that not all patched files are stored in the above mentioned location?
Does anyone has any idea?
Thanks,
angp

All files that are modified/overwritten by the patch should be cached. Unchanged files will not be cached.

Hi Stefan,
What is used to determine if the file is to be cache or not?
Based on the MSP file info?

Windows Installer uses its file versioning rules to decided whether a file should be updated/overwritten or not. If it's being overwritten the existing version is cached (unless a baseline version of this file already exists in the cache).
