It's possible that transitive state ends up in the component state on the system, and uninstalling the patch won't restore it to non-transitive. There doesn't seem to be an API that actually tells you if a component is currently marked transitive.

In my patch application I am removing one executable file and its corresponding config file like this: <Component Id="MY.EXE" Guid="......" Transitive="yes"> <File Id="MY.EXE" Name="My.exe" KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1" Source="bin\My.exe" /> <Condition>0</Condition> </Component> <Component Id="MY.EXE.CONFIG" Guid="......" Transitive="yes"> <File Id="MY.EXE.CONFIG" Name="My.exe.config" KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1" Source="bin\My.exe.config" /> <Condition>0</Condition> </Component> When I remove this patch, My.exe gets restored but not My.exe.config. Is this to be expected? Using /lv*x to log patch removal I see nothing regarding the config file that would give me the clue why is it not restored.
