Hi,
I am implementing removable patches with Burn

Such that if I  Install RTM, HF1, HF2 then both HFs should be visible

And when I uninstall HF2 ,the machine will return to the state where RTM,
HF1 was installed.

All my HF are cumulative and I build the HF against RTM only,

Meaning HF2 will  target RTM


Based on the input I got from several developers in this forum I am doing
the following:

In the main bundle I am using ReleatedBundle with Action="Detect".

In HF i am using ReleatedBundle with Action="Patch".

The Id of ReleatedBundle is shared by all bundles and it is different from
the upgrade code.

Each HF bundle has its own upgrade code.

My bundle contain either MSI for RTM or MSP for HF.

When I create a new MSP i change the version of ALL(this is a requirement)
my dlls,and create a MSI with new product version(is this correct?) and them
using PCP i create a MSP

All MSP are of type of Windows installer QFE.


Questions:

1.If I install RTM and HF1 and then remove HF1 ,Then when uninstalling RTM
all files left on the machine,
Looking into the log file I see that bundle detect that my features become
advertised
So RTM will not install them
If I don't remove HF1 then uninstall of RTM is working!.

Can anyone think of a reason why features become advertised if i uninstall
HF1?
 
2.In my patch log i see something like this  Overwrite;  Won't patch;

When should I see "Will Patch?"

Thanks in advance
