You can not disable auto repair.  This is not something an installation program should do.  There is a system policy to disable msi that you can use on your development machines.  This completely disables the msi engine including auto repair.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
the value
DisableMsi DWORD 2
turns Msi off
DisableMsi DWORD 0 or absence
turns Msi on

see MsiDocs
