My test fixes in the "admin-image" style do not allow me to update an existing installation correctly. When using msiexec / lx, I get the following information related to the fi_executable.exe fix:
MSI (s) (88:E0) [12:32:41:716]: Baseline: Patch {E244BAC8-7E62-4406-889B-4B67A4EA7369} modified fi_executable.exe with full-file update.
MSI (s) (88:E0) [12:32:41:716]: Baseline: First patch for fi_executable.exe, saving native info.

...
MSI (s) (88:E0) [12:32:42:543]: The file represented by File table key 'fi_executable.exe' has no eligible binary patches
Thus, even though the version number changes and the Windows installer notes that the patch modifies the file, the Windows installer does not recognize that there must be an update to the executable file.
Why?
