Hi there.
I'm finishing my installer project and now that Install/Uninstall works fine, I'm trying to put Modify and Repair to work as well. As a starting point, I've tested my Repair function and unfortunately, found out that it simply does not work. In my test, I erased exactly one file, one INI entry and one registry key and then put the installer to run in Repair mode and found out it simply does not bring back the file, nor the INI entry or the registry key whatsoever.
Checking my MSIcode in debug mode, I realized that it executes exactly the same lines that a ordinary First Install would, especially the purple Windows Installer lines, including "Apply Install". Is this a Windows Installer misbehaviour or did I miss something?
Thanks in advance.

In addition to the question mentioned above, as far as I could find out by myself, InstallAware does not come with the Modify function fully implemented on its default templates (eg. If I have two of my product features already installed on the system and I try to modify the installation to add a third feature, the default template performs the installation of all of the four features instead of installing just the new selected one).
What am I supposed to change in order to have a real Modify option (and not a "Reinstall")?
Thanks in advance.

After thoroughly searching and asking on many topics, Michael Nesmith finally pointed me out this whitepaper that explains about MSIcode. I have implemented these concepts in a test project using simplest blank setup and everything worked just fine, with everything handled correctly. After that I debugged my project line by line, taking notes on which purple lines were read or not, and found out that removing components from my installer simply was not working. I'm almost sure that the problem lies within my project, but I can't find out just why.
Please, what can I do? Is there some additional test I could do? Some whitepaper I could read? Please... it's been some months since I started this thread and still here I am, facing the same problem. No progress at all with this Windows Installer feature that should be built-in and default for IA.
PLEASE HELP ME
