title: Is there a way to create a patch that is identical to doing a full install of the newer version?
body: <p>I'm trying to create patches using the method from <a href="http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tutorial</a>.  An issue I'm running into is that I can't install a new patch on top of a previous patch.</p>
  
  <p>I can full install Version A,then patch to Version B.  After that I can't patch to Version C.
  I can full install Version B, then patch to Version C.</p>
  
  <p>Currently we just do full installs with major updates each time which is working fine, but because of the frequency of our (internal) updates the file size and update time is becoming a burden so we're looking to reduce the update time (both downloading and installing) especially when most of the files don't change.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Another requirement is that at any given time a full install can be done instead of a patch.  The solution I came up with setting a static product code made full installs on top (without manually uninstalling) doesn't work.</p>
