Secondly, in the diff.wixout that is generated above, I can see entries in the Registry table with op = "delete" which match what should be removed, but it doesn't seem to be applied by the patch. Similarly if I do a verbose log of the patch process, I can see all the RegAddValue operations for the new data.
