Change your patch targeting in MSP 2 and 3 to be something like:
MSP1 ( 1 - > 2) -- use minor upgrade change Product Version appropriately
Target version 1
PatchSequence something like: 1.0.2.0
turn on supersede
MSP2 ( 2 -> 3 ) -- treat like a hotfix don't make it minor upgrade so don't
touch first three digits
Target version 2
Patchsquence: 1.0.2.5
do not supersede
MSP3 ( 1 -> 3) -- use minor upgrade change Product Version appropriately
Target version 1
PatchSquence: 1.0.3.0
turn on supersede flag
Now you can apply MSP1 followed by MSP2 which will result in same file set
as MSP3 but you can also then apply MSP3 which will properly supersede both
MSP1 and MSP2.
Only flaw here is that MSP1 + MSP2 won't give exact same ProductVersion to
user as MSP3.
Otherwise you need to change MSP2 such that it targets both Version 1 and
Version 2. In this way you don't need MSP3 and it would simply be a minor
upgrade that supersedes earlier patches.
