Thanks for the response Bob!
Target machine is running Windows Installer V3.01.4000.3959
I have attempted to run the patch on the target machine using the
command-line you provided below as well as:
msiexec / patch.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus
msiexec /update patch.msp REINSTALL=ALL /L*v patch.log
I have also simply double clicked the patch file.
No matter how I run the patch I get taken to the "repair" or "remove"
dialog. However the msiexec log show that it being recognized as a
patch and if I select the "repair" option it does indeed apply the
changed (updated) files to the target system.
So this is the expected behavior? It is not what I was expecting.
These patches are something that will most likely be downloaded by our
customer base and applied by our customers.
Can these patches be installed in a "quiet mode"? Possibly using a
bootstrapper to help determine if the patch has completed?
Thanks again for your response,
Nick Hennemann

I have created a WiX Installer, installed it on a test machine, and then
created a patch for it. When running the patch, instead of updating the
software it is taking me to the remove, repair dialog. I can't figure
out what I have done incorrectly so hopefully you can help me.
Patch installation is a maintenance-mode installation so this might be
working as expected. How are you installing the patch? Which version of
Windows Installer is running on the target machine (later versions
enhance the "double-click scenario")?
Try the following command line:
msiexec /l*vx patch.install.log /p patch.msp
