No Repair Tab in Add or Remove Programs
Hi everyone,
Problem : After installing the application , the "Repair" tab in the Add/Remove Programs is not visible. Actually in the supplied msi , there is a property "ARPNOREPAIR" with the value "1" . I changed this value to "0" , even then the Repair tab is not visible . Moreover i deleted the same property which yielded no result. Then i realised that there is a custom action which sets the property "ARPNOREPAIR" to "1" . All i want to know is where should i set the property to change the value of ARPNOREPAIR to "0" in custom action .

Your property-setting CA needs to be placed in the Execute Immediate sequence after the current CA which is setting it to '1'. If this is a vendor-supplied MSI, make sure you add the CA via a transform and do not edit the MSI directly.

To reinstate the Repair button, just make sure ARPNOREPAIR is removed completely from the Property Table. Then either remove the Custom Action that sets the ARPNOREPAIR property or (if you are uncomfortable with that) set an impossible-to-meet condition on the Custom Action, for example 1=0.
(IIRC, if the ARPNOREPAIR property is present at all in the package, irrespective of the value assigned to it, it will have the effect of disabling the Repair button.)

ORIGINAL: axsysbabuThat's an InstallShield-only UI option which, in the final analysis, sets the ARPNOMODIFY property anyway.
