When people require files removed I've marked them as transitive components with a condition that evaluates false. As you know, removing components during a minor update is not supported.

It's possible to remove files but you've discovered the drawback. You need to add RemoveFile table rows to have a patch delete the file and it complicates patch uninstall. (See "Uninstallable Patches" in the MSI SDK for details.) The general recommendation is to do nothing, just leave the files there. You can also replace it with a zero-byte or nulled-out file. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
