That's a classic!
A minor upgrade is not supposed to remove files.

  • In theory, you would need to use a major upgrade for such a scenario.
  • In practice, you might be able to handle that by adding one entry in the RemoveFile table.

Quite right: please see the topic "Changing the Product Code" for changes that require a major upgrade.

InstallShield's update validation (described in help topic "Validating Upgrades, Patches, and QuickPatch Packages") will automate some of this: Val0006 catches the removed-component case, for example. The corrective measures described at the bottom of the Val0006 topic describe other options, such as using the RemoveFile table.
