That is all correct. The patch uninstall works correctly on Windows 2008 R2, but on Windows 2012 R2 the patch uninstall launches the installation modify mode.
I have never seen this behavior before and have no idea what changed in the MSI engine with 2012 that would cause this.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Patch uninstall from APR on Windows 2012 R2 going into repair mode Just cover the bases, I assume you are actually uninstalling the patch? In Windows 7 that would start with the "View Installed Updates" option in Programs and Features, and you have generated an uninstallable patch so your patch shows there? --------------- Phil Wilson On Tue, Oct 28, 2014 at 6:32 AM, John Cooper <jocoo...@jackhenry.com> wrote: > The UI should short-circuit from the WelcomeDlg to the VerifyReadyDlg when > the PATCH property is defined.
