Sounds like you have sequenced RemoveExistingProducts towards the end of the execute sequence. Correct? What happens if you sequence it early in the sequence so uninstall happens first? (that _should_ solve the problem) Is this new component in a feature whose state is not being migrated correctl

Hi, Is it possible to create a single delta msp file that patches multiple previous versions? I'm struggling to find documentation on whether this is possible or not, so I tried an experiment... I'm using this cmd to create whole file patches successfully: pyro -nologo .\v1.3.0\patch.wixmsp
