Is it possible to create patch installers for web deployment installers generated in VS2005?
I have a situation in which it is undesirable to perform a complete uninstall/reinstall of a web site, but in which periodic bug fixes and minor upgrades are made.
I've tried following the instructions in various online posts about using msimsp.exe to generate a patch file, but most/all of them rely on some usage of msiexec.exe to create an administrative install for comparison, since msimsp.exe can't cope with compressed content (e.g. CAB files). Web installations don't really have an administrative install, however, and ultimately the patch creation fails.
Of course, I can create an installer containing just the changed files by hand, but that's prone to error, and having an automated process is more desirable.
Any help is appreciated.

The Web Application (Model-View-Controller) template contains everything that is required to create an ASP.NET Core MVC Web Application. The Web Application (Model-View-Controller) template creates Models, Views, and Controllers folders. It also adds web-specific things such as JavaScript, CSS files, Layout files, etc.
