"This action is only valid for products that are currently installed"
Hi All,
I am currently working on an application which has one msi and msp into it.
I have done the admin install of the msi and applied the msp into it(msiexec/a <path of msi> /p <path of msp> ).The patched msi installs correctly
but when i uninstalled the patched msi I see an error message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed"
Any help is appreciated?

Hi Sumit,
Are you using the correct syntax for uninstalling the patch, if not please refer below the link.:

That will uninstall the patch (if the patch is flagged as uninstallable, of course) but I think Sumit is referring to removing the entire product.
@Sumit, what command line are you using to uninstall?

Hi Sumit,
try to edit the patch using orca and check is there any property that has been set to stop uninstallaiton, you can modify the property if it is a public property try to pass it while uninstallation.
cheers,

A patch which is set to be uninstallable is set that way for a reason. In any event, I think Sumit is saying that the patched product can't be uninstalled. I'm still trying to work out why that might be. Could it be that the original install was done per-user and you are trying to uninstall it using a different account?

This would be my first guess. Log on to the PC locally and search under the HKEY_USERS registry hive for the GUID of the MSI.
