Removing files from small updates is not (well) supported (and patches are basically small updates). Your changes need to be changing a file, not removing it.

I think your problem is unrelated to pure-wix patching, component groups, or multiple cabs; but related to the fact that you're removing a file. But first: Component groups have components, not files. Did you remove a file from a component, or did you remove a component from a component group? -- Nicolás ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
