Only few chm files get deleted when applying patch
I have shipped some .chm help files in main installation. I am patching the main installation and would like to remove few of the help files to be removed during patching.
I have populated RemoveFile table with component names , keys , File names etc.
When I apply patch I find that out of 10 only 6 file get removed during patching and 4 remain on the disk.
In installation log I find that for those files which remain on disk I get message :
To be installed; Won't patch; No existing file
MSI (s) (7C:20) [20:25:43:565]: Source for file 'catalogs.chm' is compressed
InstallFiles: File: Catalogs.chm, Directory: C:\Program Files\MyApp\Help\
Can't figure out why only few of the files get removed and not all.
Thanks is advance for solution

Hi Check if the files in the main installation they are marked as permanent.
