Undo Patching

Is there a way that I can create patches that can be uninstalled to revert to the version before them? Meaning if i install version 1 then patch 1 and patch 2. I find an error with patch 2 so instead of sending out a new install or patch I could just have my customers uninstall patch 2 to revert to patch 1. I think if this were a posiblity that amny peopl ewould liek to be able to have this option.
Also if my first question is posible I was wondering if this would be posible too. I noticed that when you install patches it either does not show up in the add/remove programs or replaces the previous entry. Is there a way that I could have each each patch show up in the add/remove programs?

Thank you,

Matthew

Sorry, patching only allows a version to become another version without having to uninstall the current installation. Patches don't appear in the add/remove nor they can be uninstall separately.

Thats what I figured but I just wanted to make sure. You would not happen to know if this is somthing that install-aware is looking into would you? I can't imagine that it is a highly sought after option but you never know when you might use it.

Thank you,
