Did you look at the VBScript samples that come with the MSI SDK?
If you want to call the MSI API from C# you'll need one of these wrappers:

I gave up automating patch creation simply because it is such a complicated process that it rarely seem to be routine... As I recall I automated the entire setup creation process except patch creation. Partly because I always had to do them again to fix minor problems, and I also think Installshield Developer lacked the automation features to access the patch specific settings.
