We have an application already out in the wild, and are trying to put together a patch for it. The patch changes a few files in the original, and more importantly adds a few new files.

Both the original app and the patch are installed using InstallShield 2008.

The problem we're having is that when the original uninstaller is run, it only deletes the files that were originally installed. It removes the files overwritten during the patch process, but not the ones that were installed for the first time by the patch.

Is it possible to have the patch installer share the same log/list of installed files as the original?

At the moment, the original installer installs using the product name "BLAHBLAH", and the patch installs using "BLAHBLAH Title Update". Is there a setting in the patch that needs to identify the original "BLAHBLAH" product, and if so - where?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Andrew.
