Re: [WiX-users] Don't uninstall files if they have been edited
If the installer installs the files, it'll remove them. The best practice is not to install editable files - it leads to all manner of trouble.

You mean try MSIEXEC /qb? That sounds like it will work, thanks. If not I can try /qr and that may work. Even /qn would work as long as it prompts for reboot.

What seems to be happening is the patch has already rolled back the NEW “patch” MSI, and is reapplying the original MSI when we land on this page. That's how MSI works for patch uninstall: the original product is repaired with the patch removed. If that is what is happening, it would seem to be a fairly common issue. Is there a way to workaround this issue? I’d like the patch to just uninstall, the MaintenanceTypeDlg is not what the user is expecting to see at this point.

Set the condition level to something larger, say 10, and set the condition to be not ISSQLSERVERSERVICEINSTALLED e.g. Condition Level='10'not ISSQLSERVERSERVICEINSTALLED/Condition When sql is not found, the property will be blank and the condition will evaluate to true, setting the feature's level to 10 which prevents installation.
