BUT THAT WORKS FINE FOR STANDARD PROJECT.. BUT NOT IN BASIC MSI ...

Do you really want a setup that cannot be uninstall, repaired, modified, or updated? (all of these are maintenance operations) Or do you just want to hide the "Modify" button from the Add/remove Programs control panel? Can you please be more specific about what you want to do exactly, and why.

If this happens in upgrade scenarios you probably get the maintenance dialogs because you haven't set up the proper upgrade type for the MSI. Please read the SDK on the subjects of major upgrades and minor upgrades.

Sorry i was not specific but what i want is

when the

WHEN THE INSTALLTION IS RUN FOR THE SECOND TIME IN SAME MACHINE WITH THE SAME SETUP (IT IS NOT A PATCH OR UPGRADE, THE USER JUST RUNS THE SET UP FILE WHICH HE HAS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED ) THE SET UP WILL TAKE US TO THE MAINTENANCE MODE..

HERE INSTEAD OF MAINTENANCE MODE THE USER JUST BE PROMPTED WITH DIALOG BOX SAYING THE SET UP HAS DETECTED THAT THE SOFTWARE ALLREADY EXISTS AND IF U CLICK NEXT IT WILL STARIGHT AWAY REINSTALL THE SOFTWARE WITHOUT MAINTENANCE DIALOG BOX...

I AM USING BASIC MSI ..
I KNOW HOW TO DO IT IN STANDARD BUT I WANT THIS TO BE DONE IN BASIC

MSI .. KINDLY REPLY.....URJENT....

I generally would not recommend messing around with these dialogs, but if you look in the InstallUISequence (raw table view), you shold see a series of dialog entries in there. One will be the maintenance welcome dialog. You can just condition it to 0 and it will never be shown. You may want to disable other dialogs in the sequence (don't remove dialogs conditioned with Not Installed since they are not maintenance mode dialogs). Finally you can create your own dialog to show in the sequence. Make sure you condition it properly or it may show up during install and uninstall as well.
