Repair option

[NewsArchive]

Friedrich,

The default is to hide the repair option. If this is not hidden to the user, what
exactly does a repair do? Does it re-do an install? Or does it check that files
copied to a system and registry keys and values are what they are supposed to be?

Seems like this would be a good thing to have.

Hmm, good question.

The "Repair/Modify" button options are for MSI projects only. It's not
supported for EXE installs (I noticed that this information is missing in
the documentation and I'll add it).

If you handle "repair" from your installs (similar to what happens when you
rerun the SetupBuilder install image) then you have to add your own update
logic to your scripts.
