Hello,

I have installed my installation program, and delete the    
installed file without remove my installation program. So,
Repair function pop up to repair the file I have deleted.

 Is there any way that I can disable the repair function ?

And

 Is there any way to check which file is repaired by the msi ?

hi there,

although there is a DISABLEMSI policy there is no way to stop the auto-repair ( other then to edit the component(s) and remove the KeyPath...), sorry

[hambone]

sorry, there is one other way that i know of....

that is to add the component to another component that has a different keypath.  

that way the file in question will only be re-installed/repaired if the new merged component's keypath entry is missing.  if you opt to do this you should change the GUID for the newly merged component...

thank you so much for ur info .. :-) hambone

A slightly better way to do it rather than making it a companion file is to move such file/component into its own feature you can then run the package to just remove the single feature,component and file.
