In general, you can't assume the UI is going to run for a repair. For example, running "Repair" from the Control Panel button runs the repair in "Basic" mode with only the basic progress dialog showing. It works from the MaintenanceTypeDlg when you press the "Change" button off Control Panel because the full UI is run.

Subject: [WiX-users] UI Sequence table in for advertised-shortcut triggered repair My scenario is that target for an advertised shortcut is absent. If clicks the shortcut, Windows MSI triggers a repair with parameters REINSTALL=DefaultFeature REINSTALLMODE=pocmus. As part of this repair, the installation sequence seems to skip UI Execute sequence as I see from the log: Action start 9:06:26: INSTALL. MSI (s) (B8:8C) [09:06:26:945]: Running ExecuteSequence ... However, if user performs repair from Add/Remove program, the UI sequence does get triggered Action start 9:06:45: INSTALL. MSI (c) (A8:9C) [09:06:45:601]: UI Sequence table 'InstallUISequence' is present and populated. MSI (c) (A8:9C) [09:06:45:601]: Running UISequence Why is UI sequence table missing/empty when repair is triggered by the advertised shortcut? And is there a way that repair both from ARP and shortcut follow the same UI sequence ?
