One of the requirements for an installation that I am creating is that it doesn't first prompt me to uninstall the application. I then have to run setup.exe again to install the application. Is there an easy around to disable uninstallation upon reinstallation.
Thanks
Raj

Let me be more clear:
I want to disable uninstallation when trying to reinstall. I still want uninstall to proceed through "Add/Remove Programs"
Thanks

Thanks, I found it very useful; however, I found some faults with it. If I want to add new files to the installation in a new component, the new files will not get installed. It seems that the new files have to be in a currently existing component. Let me know if you know of a work around.
Thanks
Thanks

You're welcome.
In what context is this behavior you're describing? Repairing an existing installation? If so, that's true and to workaround it you need to get rid of maintenance mode entirely and go back a program-driven InstallScript like in IS 5.x. Look at this IS KB Article with the steps on how to accomplish this.
