A patch works by transforming the installed and cached MSI with the patch and then running a repair on the resulting MSI. That's why you see the MSI apparently installing again. Altering the condition to NOT REMOVE AND NOT PATCH in the patch sounds like a reasonable fix, if you're certain that the condition that required the reboot won't occur again.

In the product msi we schedule a reboot like <ScheduleReboot sequence=AfterInstallFinalize>NOT REMOVE</ScheduleReboot> It appears while installing the patch which targets the above msi, it reruns the msi and a reboot gets scheduled. Is there any way we can avoid the ScheduleReboot while installing the patch? Will changing the schedule reboot condition in product msi to something like *NOT REMOVE AND NOT PATCH* or, *NOT REMOVE AND NOT OLDERPRODUCTFOUND* help? While re-running the msi installsequence does the patch pick up the actions from already installed msi i.e is it runtime event? Or, the msi installsequence run by the patch is determined at compile time (I.e. if I change the condition for reboot in the product msi will it be honored by the patch)?
