Hello.

I have created simple msi package. It consists of one feature that has three components (txt files). Then I have create fixed copy of that one. Fixed copy consists of same files but one of them has 11 byte size (was 6 byte).

When I attempting create patch for original package with msimsp.exe it fails. There are such records in log file
