msp cannot be removed

i am testing patching. i created a tiny base package and then created a little patch that updates 1 file.
i am using installshield 10 and windows installer 4.5.
it installs correctly, but when i run the command line to remove the patch i get an error:-
Uninstallation of the patch package is not supported

the command line i run is
msiexec /i BasePackage.msi MSIPATCHREMOVE="PatchPackage.msp" /l*v RemovePatch.log /qb

I have pasted the remove log if that helps.

thanks for all your help lately, really appreciate it vbScab.

i read that article and released i did not set AllowRemoval = 1. i did that and checked that the policy was set correctly on the machine which it is. I attempted to uninstall again using the following comand line and it still fails. log pasted below, i am all out of ideas.

Msiexec /package {20D3A1E7-DD39-4A95-BEC4-8B8F04F2AB7E} /uninstall {6EAD9123-A68F-41E4-BBBE-5D567320E1C1} /qb /l*v RemovePatchg.log

in the base package i have a few dlls and a txt file. if i only update the text file then the removal works fine, so it appears i have everything authored correctly.
Now, once i author the msp to update one of the dlls, update version 21.0 to 22.0 then it installs fine but fails on removal. i notices in the shared dll registry hive that that file has a value of 8. bottom line is that if i attempt to update any of the dlls the remove of the msp fails.
i will keep going and post results here, hopefully i will get to the bottom of this.
the base package using dynamic file linking this may be the issue!

If the DLL is shared, the engine won't remove it until the shared count is 0. Besides that, though, I think you have a more fundamental problem:Error 2725: Invalid database tables

Hi VBScab/All,
Were you able to figure out why you were unable to uninstall the patch and/or figure out a solution? I am facing this exact problem and running out of ideas. Please help me.

Thanks,
Pram.
