[wix-users] Can a patch remove a feature added by a patch

[Nir Bar]

Marking patch2 as superseding and setting MSIUNINSTALLSUPERSEDEDCOMPONENTS to 1 should do the trick.

Ok. But what we are looking for is to clean up all the files/folders created by that patch1 using patch2.

Does this sound feasible?



Thanks

If patch2 supersede patch1, then set property MSIUNINSTALLSUPERSEDEDCOMPONENTS to 1 to uninstall any component introduced in patch1 that was deleted in patch2.
 
 I'm not sure though whether or not the feature introduced in patch1 will be uninstalled or be marked as advertised.

 Hi WixUsers, 
 
 We have released a new feature with a patch say, patch1.msp. 
 
 Now we want to remove the above feature using a subsequent patch2.msp. 
 
 We want to remove the feature using a patch and not in a major 
 release/upgrade. 
 Is this possible to do? 
 
 Thanks for your help! 
 
 Mounika.
