I tried to edit .pcp file “UpgradedFiles_OptionalData Table” AllowIgnoreOnPatchError column setting to 1 to allow Installer to cont patching if a particular file can’t be patched, but this didn’t help ether. In fact after the patching I can’t uninstall app anymore.
Can anyone provide feedback or suggesting on this matter?
Including New file in a Patch doesn’t patch at all ???

I don't use IS, so I am not sure how this works with your packager. What you may want to do is to ensure that the new files that are being added are associated with a new feature. Most of the packagers I have reviewed create a new component for each new file ... so I suspect that your packager is treating the patch as a Minor Upgrade, and that would require changing the Product Code if you are not expanding the Feature and FeatureComponents tables.
For additional information, see the article Changing the Product Code in the Windows Installer SDK.
