Include .NET Framework

Patch Uninstallation

Select the Allow Patch to be Uninstalled (Requires Windows Installer 3.0) check box if you would like the QuickPatch to be uninstallable without having to uninstall and reinstall the entire application and other QuickPatch packages. Note that uninstallation of QuickPatch packages works only under certain conditions. For example, versions of Windows Installer earlier than version 3.0 cannot remove just the QuickPatch from an application. For more information, see Removing Patches in the Windows Installer help.
