Each of the following three forms for using the MSIPATCHREMOVE property
referred to at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370348(VS.85).aspx
looks like they should do the trick but currently I'm getting a "Uninstallation
of the patch package is not supported." result. I previously was able to use
control panel | add remove programs | show updates | <patch> | remove to
uninstall the patch but I no longer am offered that option. Any thoughts on
what I clobbered that now prevents me from being able to uninstall patches?
msiexec /i {F7A5E23F-B931-49D6-BD5B-1B90CD893210} /qb
MSIPATCHREMOVE={C86050B6-37EC-4BE8-A9D0-A9C61DA42ED6} /l*v
d:\temp\v10tov11patchRemove.log
msiexec /i "\\rpbuildagent03\builds\RXP Eventing\v1.0rtm\RP Event Notification
Service.msi" /qb MSIPATCHREMOVE={C86050B6-37EC-4BE8-A9D0-A9C61DA42ED6} /l*v
d:\temp\v10tov11patchRemove.log
msiexec /i "\\rpbuildagent03\builds\RXP Eventing\v1.0rtm\RP Event Notification
Service.msi" /qb MSIPATCHREMOVE="\\rpbuildagent03\builds\RXP
Eventing\CheckInBuilds\Current\Release\RP Event Notification Service Patch.msp"
/l*v d:\temp\v10tov11patchRemove.log

Got answers to these. Would be interested if anyone already has a command line
utility wrapping MsiRemovePatches api that allows cmd.exe scripted removal of
patches.

Subject: [WiX-users] some final points for clarification on the whole v1.0 to
v1.1 msp patch upgrade [ or a v1.0 to v1.1 msi upgrade ] process
1. when I run a v1.0 to v1.1 msp patch upgrade [ or a v1.0 to v1.1 msi
upgrade ] am I expected to include the additional public property settings that
were needed/used when I ran the original v1.0 deployment, e.g. INSTALLDIR,
DATABASESHOSTNAME, DATABASESDOMAINLOGINGROUPNAME, etc.?
2. is there a programmatic way for removing a patch versus having to go into
the addRmv Programs | view installed updates listing, e.g. msiexec /x ...?
I'm trying to script the automated deployment of a patch and want to also
include the command that undeploy's it. The primary reason I wanted to get
v1.0 to v1.1 msp patch upgrading working is to get the service release rollback
support versus the v1.0 to v1.1 msi upgrade process that has no rollback story.
3. I have a customaction that I need to execute after the v1.0 to v1.1 msp
patch upgrade (Installed And PATCH) [ or v1.0 to v1.1 msi upgrade
(UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) ] processing completes...is it recommended that I just
schedule an installexecutesequence entry for that customaction that is
conditioned to run if the noted property evaluations are true?
