About uninstallation patch in installshield MSI

hi,
I created a basic MSI project in installshield premier. I want build a patch that can be uninstalled. I selected the option "allowed patch to be unistalled" at patch configration level and selected the option "include windows installer3.1 enger". But it prompt "installed on" in the add or remove panel.
What need I note ?

I'm seeing the same thing, did you ever resolve this? I created a patch accepting most of the defaults, select "Allow patch to be unistalled" and I have no option to remove the patch once it's installed. The previous version of this kit in IS12 does have the option to uninstall. This is a new patch design as well.

I should also note this is a Basic MSI and not an InstallScript project. I know I did it as a test a couple of months ago with this version and it worked fine, so not sure what changed.

Thanks,

When a patch adds new content to any of the tables in the following list, Windows Installer marks the patch as being not uninstallable. An uninstallable patch can add new files, assemblies, registry entries, components, or features to an installation by adding new rows to database tables that are not included in this list.
