Hi I have a problem I can not find template.pcp file that should be in windows SDK but It is not. I need it to make a patch .msp file I am following this tutorial: MSDN tutorial . Does anyone know where could I find it?

I can't see the template.pcp file anywhere in the SDK at this point, it might have gotten removed whereas it previously kept being moved.

The free MSI SDK tool called Orca can save a PCP file - and other types of MSI-relevant files. Search Windows SDK folder for Orca-x86_en-us.msi and install. Some more info here, current paths etc... (towards bottom).

WiX can also create a PCP file via markup, as explained in this thorough tutorial: Using Patch Creation Properties. This tutorial should contain all required information to succeed without the template.pcp file (though I never use patching).

  • Great, I thought as much. Better with a late answer than never I suppose - for other people who might have the same problem. – Stein Åsmul Oct 24 '18 at 09:21
