I am building a Patch using the Patch Creation Properties. I have a
Patch.wxs in which there is a PatchMetadata element with
AllowRemoval="yes". Even then the Patch doesn't give me the option to
uninstall in the Installed Updates. Can any one please help?
FYI, please find the Patch.wxs mark up below.
