You need to increment the file versions for patched files, basically because updates are based on them.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367835(v=vs.85).aspx Something like REINSTALLMODE=amus is not a good idea. If you have included merge modules from 3rd parties, or Microsoft merge modules then congratulations, you may have just downgraded some fix that was applied by overwriting the higher versioned fix with yours, and maybe even re-opened a security vulnerability. That danger may be less with a patch containing only your files, but it's a bad habit to start when the right answer is simply to increment your file versions.
