Pehaps this is more of a Windows Installer question than WiX but I authored
my installer using WIX 3 so I am posting here.

I have an patched installation where only some of the features are
installed. When I remove the patch through add/remove programs or a call to
msiexec, the default features get installed. I do not know why this is.

I suspected that this may have something to do with INSTALLLEVEL, but I read
that this property has no effect in maintenance mode. The default
INSTALLLEVEL for each of the features is 1. I am assuming removing a patch
is in maintenance mode  and the log does say "Product registered: entering
maintenance mode."

I did find the lines:

MSI (s) (B8:E0) [07:54:18:616]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding REINSTALL property.
Its value is 'Server'.
MSI (s) (B8:E0) [07:54:18:616]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ADDLOCAL property.
Its value is 'Client'.

that shows that it is adding the client feature, which is not installed.

What's the best way around this problem? 

Lindsey
