Thanks, I managed to identify the problem in the log. The change that made patch uninstall ask for the source (it didn't before) is because I have a new DLL which gets installed in shared location.
DLL is supposed to always increase in version so it can be patched up but it should never revert to previous version during patch uninstall. I assume that just marking the file component as Permanent would do this for me? -----Original Message----- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:b...@joyofsetup.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 10:33 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
