So - is there nothing that can be done to force the change to re-install any files... I guess it's sensible that it doesn't - just not for me now!!!
I'm thinking that my only option would be to put the write to the registry into a custom action dll and run this each time... Not really the prettiest of options tho! - Any other ideas as I'd rather not do this?

It doesn't reinstall everything, which is the problem you're running into. Your component is installed so the only thing a change operation can do is remove it. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- This Message has been Scanned by SurfControl(c) Email Filter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Co-operative IT is part of The Midcounties Co-operative West Midlands Co-operative Society (WMCS) and Oxford, Swindon and Gloucester Co-operative Society (OSG) have merged to form The Midcounties Co-operative.
