Thad, After an extensive call with support (still ongoing in one environment), it picks the installed components automatically out of any xml files it encounters...but the problem is that it may pick the 'wrong' file....so, my recommendation for you would be to find all of the *InstalledConfiguration.xml files and rename those that you don't want the patch installer touching...and go through the ones you leave in place and make sure that everything is working 'as designed' in that file before trying the install again.
