I am trying to create an msp file from two msi files.

The msi files were created using Advanced Installer. I've selected "Archive installation files into CAB files" but not "Compress CAB files for smaller size".

enter image description here

But when I run msimsp

msimsp -s MyProperties.pcp -p MyPatch.msp -l MyPatch.log

I get error code 0xC00E5116

Looking in the log, it says

ERROR: UpgradedImages.MsiPath 'C:\MyFolder\Setup.msi' is marked as having compressed files (PID_WORDCOUNT property of Summary Information stream). PatchWiz is unable to patch files compressed in a cabinet.

However, I have selected not to compress the files. Is merely being placed in the cabinet considered being "compressed" by msimsp, or is there a way around this?

This works fine if I select "Place files unpacked in folders next to the MSI database". However I'd rather distribute the installer as a single msi (or even better, exe) file. Is it possible to do this while being retaining the ability to create a patch?
