Hi Zett,
Thanks for the help, Can you please help me how to implement repair for
the mentioned scenario (without UI). Currently by using "msiexec /fe
sample.msi", I am reinstalling the above mentioned (code) msi. This case is
not working for
1. Xp if 3 or more files are missing or corrupted
2. Vista - if atleast one file got missed or corrupted
in the above cases I am getting "Windows installer error number 2343.
-Raj
P.S. /fe option for msiexec is even replacing the corrupted files also
(though windows treats the modified files as higher version)
