I finally got a chance to look, and it appears that your dialog
sequencing is a little inconsistent and pressing "Next->Next->Next" when
applying a patch appears to be changing your installation type (check
your verbose log for the sequence of property changes).
Some properties your UI uses are consumed before being created
(WIXUI_INSTALLMODE for one). I'm not sure what overall effect that is
having but it isn't good practice.
If you apply the patch with UI suppressed, does it add the features you
don't want added? I would expect not, given the WiX source code you sent
me.

Hi Blair,
I am sending the complete files for your reference. Hope
this may help.
As part of my requirement, I have modified Complete
installation button of Wix to a server type installation and had
validations
accordingly. Not sure whether this is causing any issue.
Thanks,

If a typical installation shouldn't have SERVER_COMPONENTS or
EDS_SERVICE,
why do you have the following code:
> On click of typical installation button in wix, I have
> Order="1">1
that will always add SERVER_COMPONENTS to your installation?
When you perform a repair, you generally don't ever want to add or
remove features unless you really do want to modify the feature set you
are
installing.
