Re: [WiX-users] UI Sequence table in for advertised-shortcut triggered repair
Appreciate your response, it clarifies a lot. Our regular repair through ARP is configured to bring up a custom UI dialog asking for a windows service logon account. Since this is suppressed in resiliency repair, the service installation fails, causing the entire repair to fail. I guess I could try using InstallUtilLib.dll (or InstallUtil.exe) to ask for service credentials in resiliency repair mode. The dialog for credentials that InstallUtil.exe pops up looks like basic modeless UI which may qualify for resiliency repair mode. Sameer Ironically, initially our dark generated wix setup did use InstallUtilLib.dll to install the windows service. But now we have switched to using ServiceControl and ServiceInstall WiX elements.

[WiX-users] UI Sequence table in for advertised-shortcut triggered repair
My scenario is that target for an advertised shortcut is absent. If clicks the shortcut, Windows MSI triggers a repair with parameters REINSTALL=DefaultFeature REINSTALLMODE=pocmus. As part of this repair, the installation sequence seems to skip UI Execute sequence as I see from the log: Action start 9:06:26: INSTALL. MSI (s) (B8:8C) [09:06:26:945]: Running ExecuteSequence ... However, if user performs repair from Add/Remove program, the UI sequence does get triggered Action start 9:06:45: INSTALL. MSI (c) (A8:9C) [09:06:45:601]: UI Sequence table 'InstallUISequence' is present and populated. MSI (c) (A8:9C) [09:06:45:601]: Running UISequence Why is UI sequence table missing/empty when repair is triggered by the advertised shortcut? And is there a way that repair both from ARP and shortcut follow the same UI sequence ?

[WiX-users] Application's icons still appearing in windows Explorer even after uninstall
Hi, I'm registering a filetype associated with my program's executable in Windows 7, and it works perfectly: ... ... However, I noticed that after the application is uninstalled, the application's data files *still* have the icon viewable with the data files. (i.e. 'MyDataFile.wixexample' still has the application icon viewable in Windows Explorer). I noticed the associated entry in the registry has correctly been removed (i.e. Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wixexample) along with all the other things typical with an uninstall. When I log off or restart the machine, the icons are correctly removed. It's as if windows needs a 'refresh'. I get the feeling this is a windows or windows installer issue, and not really a Wix problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction so the icons in the application's data files disappear immediately after an uninstall occurs?
