@Pranay, the effect will still happen. The policy - when set to 1 - just tells Windows Installer whether to actually err and terminate. The only way to avoid the issue is to not remove a component in a small update or minor upgrade.

In my case, the EnforceUpgradeComponentRules is already set to zero and yet the error occurs.

Machine policy value 'EnforceUpgradeComponentRules' is 0

SELMGR: Component 'Registry_DMS.F2D586C6_754A_4AD8_93A4_8F22EF0C9D16' is registered to feature 'MgrWAC', but is not present in the FeatureComponents table. Removal of components from a feature is not supported!

MSI (s) (80:60) [12:57:45:290]: SELMGR: Removal of a component from a feature is not supported

Please suggest.

danygo, it's rare that there are orphaned packages in the Installer cache. Most often there are patches that are superseded - registered to the product but not applied. If those are removed the affected products cannot be serviced, repaired, or even uninstalled.

msizap.exe G! usually will do the trick, but you need to tell me what the error reports exactly.
