If i create a patch can anyone tell me if it's possible to remove an Installshield patch when it has been installed.  It does not show up in the add/remove programs section on Windows which is what we want.  But is there any way we can remove the patch and put the environment back to before the patch was installed.  Without having to reinstall the product?

You cannot undo a Windows Installer patch (except if you create a reverse patch). This is by Microsoft design.

Microsoft have said that uninstalling patches is intended to be part of the functionality in MSI 3.0 due Q1 2004
