"v" means any time you do a repair operation with the MSI, that the original
source media will be required. Users *hate* that.

Rob,
Is there a short answer as to why you're not supposed to set the REINSTALLMODE
property to "vomus" and just leave it like that?

What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to make it so you don't have to
do that from the command-line? One thing that I think that you can do is set a
property in your wxs file that is:
<Property Id="REINSTALLMODE" Value="vomus" />
If you look at the MSDN documentation for the REINSTALLMODE property, you're
not supposed to put the "v" in "vomus" on the initial installation, but I have
never figured out why you're not supposed to do this.

That solved the short term problem, but isn't a long term solution. Looks like
I need to do a lot more research and a lot more reading.
Thanks!

Does it complain about a different version of the product already being
installed? If so, you need to install the MSI via the msiexec.exe command like
this:
msiexec.exe /I your_msi.msi REINSTALL=All REINSTALLMODE=vomus

In the project I'm working on, we've hit a pain point and we're not certain how
to overcome it. Right now if we want to do an upgrade, the user has to
uninstall before installing the new version.
I am sure this has to be possible, I just need some pointers on the "how to"
side of things.
Thanks!
Rory
