After using WiX 2.0 for half year, I need to create  pacthes now, and encounter 
a problem, uninstalling patch does not remove patched files:

1. Create a baseline installer, then installing is OK.

2. Create an upgrade 1 installer with new files added, create patch 1 between 
baseline and upgrade 1, installing patch 1 and remove patch 1 are both OK, new 
files are removed after un-installation.

3. Create an upgrade 2 installer with more new files added, create patch 2 
between baseline and upgrade 2. Patch 2 wxs file has a line indicating to 
replace pacth 1. Installing patch 1 and patch 2, then un-install  patch 2, new 
files added by patch 2 are NOT removed, even though these files are marked to 
be removed in the log file.  Un-installing patch 1 and baseline do not remove 
them either.

Could you please help:
1. When patch 2 is set to replace patch 1, shall "Add/Remove programs" only 
show patch 2 after patch 2 installed?
2. Please advise why files from patch 2 are not removed after patch 2 
uninstalled?
