All products were installed with Windows Installer. Installation setups (*.msi files) distribute that DLL with merge module (*.msm). Now we have found and fixed a bug in that DLL and we need to redistribute it.<\/p>\n<p>I thought that patch maker msimsp.exe will make one patch to update all 10 products but it makes patches from *.msi files only. The need to create 10 patches just to update one DLL which is also installed into the same location (e.g. C:\\Program Files\\[my company]\\Common) looks as an overkill for me.<\/p>\n<p>So, my question is &#8211; how to make patch file (*.msp) from *.msm module?<br \/>\nRegards,<br \/>\nRajesh Kumar<br \/>\nTwitt me @ <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/RajeshKumarIn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">twitter.com\/RajeshKumarIn<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>rajeshkumar created the topic: Question about Windows Installer &#8211; How to make one patch for many products Hi there, My apologies if this wrong forum but I did not find&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[216],"class_list":["post-873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","tag-products"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":874,"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873\/revisions\/874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devopsschool.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
