I marked all Files as Transitive with:
<Condition>1</Condition>
in my target build.
So I expected all files to be transitive, all the time. It is only the
condition that changes from 1 to 0 when and if I remove files. New files, if
any, that get added to the patch are always added with:
<Condition>1</Condition>
It looked like it should work and that is why I have each file in its own
component.

It's possible that transitive state ends up in the component state on the
system, and uninstalling the patch won't restore it to non-transitive. There
doesn't seem to be an API that actually tells you if a component is currently
marked transitive.

Subject: [WiX-users] Does patch removal restore removed data files?
In my patch application I am removing one executable file and its corresponding
config file like this:
<Component Id="MY.EXE" Guid="......" Transitive="yes">
<File Id="MY.EXE" Name="My.exe" KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1"
Source="bin\My.exe" />
<Condition>0</Condition>
</Component>
<Component Id="MY.EXE.CONFIG" Guid="......" Transitive="yes">
<File Id="MY.EXE.CONFIG" Name="My.exe.config" KeyPath="yes"
DiskId="1" Source="bin\My.exe.config" />
<Condition>0</Condition>
</Component>
When I remove this patch, My.exe gets restored but not My.exe.config.
Is this to be expected? Using /lv*x to log patch removal I see nothing
regarding the config file that would give me the clue why is it not restored.
