Hi Bob, I am unable to find any change that would imply a removed component (no components were removed, no GUIDs changed). The only thing I can think of is maybe the transform for the only MSI adding a font installation could produce problems (even if it's not the applied transform), as the patch is a single patch for all MSIs. Any other reasons you can think of for such problems ? I would like to avoid having to mark the patch as "not uninstallable"....
I am not very sure what you meant by: "You need to check the feature states after each operation, not just during" Thanks, Adrian ________________________________ From: Bob Arnson <b...@joyofsetup.com> To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tue, November 10, 2009 3:13:04 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Product uninstall problem when removing first a patch Adrian Gantoi wrote: > I also had a look on reported feature states at each step (I'll report below > my major features' states). > Results: > - product install - no comments > - SP2 install - no errors reported - features : Installed=Local, > Request=Reinstall, Action=Reinstall > - SP2 uninstall - no errors reported - features : Installed=Local, > Request=Reinstall, Action=Reinstall > - product uninstall - no errors reported - features : Installed=Advertise, > Request=Absent, Action=Absent > > I don't understand the features' "Advertise" state ..... > The most common cause is minor upgrades that remove components. You need to check the feature states after each operation, not just during.
