Hi,
 
Could you please give me a confirmation, if I understood correctly the next 
behavior? If I delete a file (let's say file1.dll) from the installation 
directory and after that I start the application (the exe file), the installer 
gets into action and reinstalls file1.dll. 
If I do the same with another file (file2.dll), then the installer does not 
reinstall file2.dll.
 
Both files are Key Paths in their components, but the difference between them 
is that file1.dll is KeyPath for a component which is contained by a feature 
which has the attribute Absent='disallow'.The parent feature of the other 
component (of file2.dll) does not have this attribute set. 
 
Is this the reason for the behavior I described? The features set with the flag 
'disallow' cannot be deleted from the installation directory (or at least the 
KeyPaths of their components cannot be removed)?
 
Thank you,
Luciana
