Updates the install package with new files from the WorkingDirectory. The files must be in the relative directory matching their SourcePath. This method re-compresses and packages the files if necessary, and also updates the following data: File.FileSize, File.Version, File.Language, MsiFileHash.HashPart?.

        fileKeys : ICollection<string> -> unit

Parameters

fileKeys (ICollection<(Of <(<'String>)>)>): List of file key strings to update

Remarks

This method does not change the media structure of the package, so it may require extracting and re-compressing a large cabinet just to update one file.

The cabinet compression level used during re-cabbing can be configured with the CompressionLevel property.
