Right, transitive component, rather than volatile. It goes like:
<Component Id="compid" Guid=... Transitive="yes">
<!-- 0 to remove the file, 1 to install it -->
<Condition>0</Condition>
<File Id="file name" ..... />
</Component>

Yes. That's a fairly common way of making sure that a file doesn't get
installed on the system without breaking the component rules during
patching. That's a transitive component.

It is possible to put a file into a Component containing only that file,
make it volatile and change the condition for installing the component
from 1 to 0.

Hey Grigory,
I don't believe you are able to remove a file while patching. However,
you
can change the file that you want to delete to a 0byte file. This will
be
effectively the same. I don't have an example of how to run a custom
action
but believe you just add a new action to your patch. There is a lot more
information to go with that. Please view Heaths blog.
