Thank you for your reply. Can you please give me an example of how i write this
in my .wxs file and how to check if its install or repair.
The scenario is that a user has installed the product and lets say he has
changed the content one of the installed file. Now he runs the installer again
by double clicking the setup msi and now it asks for Repair option. when the
user select the repair radio button and completes the install, nothing hapens
to the changed file. It has to be restored back to the original. Can i do this
in my .wxs file and how?
Thanks for any help
