Thanks for the reply. I tried few different tweeks to my wix installer and the patch installer installs all the components that are missing for a full installation on a system that has only typical installation.
When I uninstall only the patch, it only removes/updates the component related to the patch and leave the system with full installation although it is meant to have typical/limited installation. I suspect the problem lies in configuration of wix elements such as file, component or feature or something else. Below are some of my code snippets 1)Declare component <ComponentGroup Id=" SERVERREG " Directory="INSTALLFOLDER"> <Component Id="alxWeb" Guid="{}"> <File Id="alxAnalyser" Source="$(var.SOURCELOCATION)\alxAnalyser.exe" KeyPath="yes" /> </Component> </ComponentGroup> 2) Included in feature <Feature Id="SERVER_COMPONENTS" Title="App Server" Level="10" Description=""> <!--<Application Server>--> <ComponentGroupRef Id="SERVERREG"/> </Feature> 3) Publish feature On click of typical installation button in wix, I have <Publish Event="AddLocal" Value=" SERVER_COMPONENTS " Order="1">1</Publish> Any help on this would be much appreciated.

In case of wix patch release, is it possible to give the user the same option of typical, custom or complete installation type. Else during the deployment can wix patch detect which features to be deployed based on the installation done in a system. i.e if a system is installed with typical installation then the wix patch update only those components that belong to typical installation. and if a system has a custom installation with only feature X then the patch update should update only those components that belong to feature X.
