Creating a patch using visual studio setup project

setup

Hi all,

I wish to create a patch for my project using visual studio (2008 - .net 3.5) instead of delivering a new installer for each build. I went through the following article
How to create installation patches for VS.NET deployment projects[^]
and followed the steps provided there, after installing SDK. But I was unable to complete this task without errors. The result of this is given below.

How to figure it out?
