ARPNOREPAIR affects the Add/Remove Programs (or Programs and Features as it is called in Vista) in suppressing the Repair option. It has no other effect on the operation of the MSI at all.
When building your patch, remove or change the "REINSTALL = ALL" condition mentioned below or simply remove the type 19 action altogether in your "upgrade" MSI, then build the patch. The patch application should then succeed (or at least not fail because repairs were disabled). -----Original Message----- From: Andy2k8 [mailto:appr...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2009 12:57 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Patching after disabling "Repair" OK. In that case using a custom action that sets the ARPNOREPAIR value to "0" before the <launch conditions/> would do the trick??
