Reinstall app from new patched source

Hi

I've a created an administrative install for a in-house-app.
I did this with msiexec /a mymsi.msi TARGETDIR=\\Server\Installs\Myapp
On a client I then did msiexec /i \\Server\Installs\Myapp\MyMsi.msi
Later I patched my source with msiexec /a \\Server\Installs\Myapp\MyMsi.msi /p C:\temp\Mypatch.msp

Now here is what I would like to know. Is it possible to re-install myapp with /f to get the new files.
I've tried msiexec /fav \\Server\Installs\Myapp\MyMsi.msi on the client where it already is installed. The new files will not be installed.
Must I first remove my app and then install it again?
I know I can install the Mypatch.msp separately on the client. I just would like to know if there is a shorter way.

Look at MSDN for details of the REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE properties.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,
so that the conversation will remain readable.
