Thanks and yes, I could create the removefile table in the PCP files (with
ORCA), but what about from WiX? In the schema, PatchCreation cannot have a
RemoveFile child (directly or indirecty, e.g. via Fragment). And I have been
searched around and couldn't find any place mention about this.

I need to remove some files that's no longer required in new release. As it
seems using the patch generated by patchcreation will not do anything on
these kind of files (correct me if I am wrong on this), so I was trying to
add a removefile table to the resultant pcp file. The problem is how's the
way to do this in WiX source? Or this is not the right way to do it?
PCP files contain a certain set of patch-related tables, not the standard
tables you find in an .msi. Instead, your upgrade .msi database should
contain the RemoveFile table rows you need to delete the file so it's not
orphaned.
