How exactly does repair work?
When choosing repair in maintenance mode what does Windows Installer do? Does
it go back to the MSI logic and run through it again? Does it remember what was
installed the first time and try to duplicate what was done?
Here's the scenario:
- Install product
- uninstall dependency that install has
- Try to repair product
Repair fails because dependency has been removed. Originally the component that
fails has a conditional to not install if dependency is not present. But the
dependency was present during the initial install and then later removed. So
the dependency was gone during repair but the repair still tries to fix the
component with the dependency and fails.
Any way around this?
