Thanks for the reply. They are from the same wixlib. And I'm 99% positive I have adhered to all the component rules.. The only reason I can fathom for this occurring is the patch does not recognise that a new application has installed the same component after the patch. The reference to the component exists in the registry and has the 2 product references there but the patch seems to ignore this.
Any other ideas please? -----Original Message----- From: Pally Sandher [mailto:pally.sand...@iesve.com] Sent: 28 January 2011 10:28 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Problem when Uninstalling a Patch. You broke the component rules some how. A less error prone way to deal with shared files of this type is to use either a wixlib or a merge module. That way you're guaranteed to install the exact same thing & much less likely to break the component rules.

Subject: [WiX-users] Problem when Uninstalling a Patch. Hello, So the order of installation is; Install Product A. Install Patch A - which contains a new additional file called new.dll with a version of 1.0, this file is installed to a shared location. Install Product B - which contains the file new.dll but has version 1.1, this file is installed to the same shared location. If you then uninstall Patch A the new.dll is removed from the shared location leaving no new.dll installed at all. The component GUIDs are the exact same too.
