[wix-users] Is there any way to create wix patch with removed components

[Nir Bar]

You can't remove components in a minor upgrade

However you can add a condition to the removed components such that in practice they'll evaluate to false and be removed

Hi, 
 
 
 
I was trying to create patch update with removed components. 
 
 
 
Let's suppose Product 1.0 version has A.dll, B.dll and C.dll and in Product 2.0 version has A.dll updated and B.dll and C.dll both gets removed. 
 
1.     Is this possible to create patch (.msp) between 1.0 and 2.0 with the removed dlls ? 
 
2.     If yes, what is the easy way we can do to create patch with several removed components (approx 500 components) 
 
3.     Also if we don't want to write each component manually in Patch file. 
 
4.     And want to generate patch dynamically in one shot. Is there any best way we can try. 
 
 
 
Thanks, 
 
Sakshi
