Adding more information as I see....
We did validation of the latest patch (that has uninstall problem). This latest
patch has gone on the top of {earlier patches + base product}. The validation
(again, not used any custom ICE validators) errors are below. Any thoughts on
these errors? Note that errors on lines 8-15 didn't show up when I validated a
good patch (the patch that didn't have any known problems).

{More ICE45 error}

Another observation: There is a new file that is supposed to be laid down by
the latest patch (patch that is having the uninstall problems). I can't see
this file after installing this patch (this file involves creation of a new
folder which is also not created). Does anyone think this could cause this
problem while uninstalling?
Thx,

I don't see errors while validating the original MSI, only INFO and WARNING.
Attached is the output file. Let me know if you can't view the attached file.
(I posted the following in another email, but including here to make sure you
see it. in that email I attached the uninstall log file. it is ~4MB so not
attaching here. Can you look at that email for this log file if that's useful?
I compared this uninstall log file to that of earlier patches, things look
normal up until the point where this error is thrown)

I think the ICE45 can be ignored if it only occurs on new rows added by the
patch and the attributes are set to the value for "Patch Added" - thats a known
issue with the ICE test.
The ICE03 error repeats what your original error says: that you have an invalid
database structure but Ive seen InstallShield make patches with invalid entries
in the _Validation table and it doesn't affect patch installation - just the
validation of it. You could try correcting those errors with Orca and see if
that helps.
The patch log section is OK. You get that message when a file has changed to
such an extent that the differences are larger than the file itself or if the
file is new.
What ICE errors does the unpatched, original MSI have, if any ?

Thanks Peter for the response. I used orca to do validation on the patches. I
didn't use custom ICE validators; I mean left the field blank. It's giving
errors on valid patches also. Errors of this kind:
" ICE03 ERROR Table: MsiPatchHeaders Column: Header Missing
specifications in _Validation Table (or Old Database)
ICE45 ERROR Row 'file6770' in table 'File' has bits set in the
'Attributes' column that are reserved. They must be 0 to ensure compatibility
with future installer versions."
This error is thrown for, I think, all the files that are shipped in the msp
file. I looked at the patch building log for file6770 and this is what it has
(2.1.21001 is the 1st patch on the clean installed product, which is 2.1.21000.
This patch and everything up until 5th patch doesn't have this uninstall
problem. 6th patch has this problem):
FTK=file6770; temp location=Patch\10002.FLE.
Files differ:
'c:\sandbox\wixobj\sb\patches\2.1.21001\admin\.\.\lib\sbwela.jar',
'c:\sandbox\wixobj\sb\patches\2.1.21000\admin\.\.\lib\sbwela.jar'.
Patch API could not create a small patch; using whole upgraded file.
Including entire file:
'c:\sandbox\wixobj\sb\patches\2.1.21001\admin\.\.\lib\sbwela.jar';
Any thoughts?
Thx,
-Pramodh.

Have you tried running ICE Validation of the MSI with and without the
patch(es) applied in something like Orca or InstEd ? That might give you an
idea as to what is wrong.

Subject: [WiX-users] "Error 2725: Invalid database tables" error while
uninstalling a patch
We use wix installer 3.0 to build MSIs and MSPs. We have the product installed
with msi and has a bunch of patches (MSPs) installed on it. We build the latest
patch and installed on the top of that. Installing works fine and the product
also works fine. The problem is that we can't uninstall that patch. It gives
the error "Error 2725: Invalid database tables". We confirmed that
uninstalling worked fine for the previous patches. The command I am using to
uninstall the patch is (first GUID is the product GUID and 2nd is the patch
GUID) the following. Same command works fine for the earlier patches.
Msiexec /I {E793D01E-8222-4f65-A718-2A94891A0E46}
MSIPATCHREMOVE={B4025760-B524-4B4F-BFAA-EE5941F55F18} /qb /norestart /l*vx

Can someone help me? Thanks. -Pramodh. The related log is:
