Transitive flag does not work with components which include <file> tags. The setup keeps reinstalling the files to the previous install locations saved in the registry during installation. I want identical behavior as at install time as Phil mentioned.
I need to change/select the application folder of a selected/created website at Reinstall Mode. I could manipulate the designated registry keys at setup runtime with Custom Actions but this is not recommended. An alternative solution would be highly appreciated.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] I need the Repair to behave as Reinstall I think it's more likely Houssam wants identical behavior as at install time. I assume the conditions are not set properly during the repair and so the files aren't being installed. Setting the components to be transitive wouldn't change that situation. The general answer to this behavior is to save the critical properties in the registry at install time and restore them with a registry search during repairs and maintenance operations.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] I need the Repair to behave as Reinstall Well it does. But the condition used is the one at fresh install time. It is is not re-evaluated - unless you set the transitive flag. You might want to look at msidbComponentAttributesTransitive bit flag in Attributes column of Component table. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368007(v=VS.85).aspx -----Original Message----- From: Houssam Hamdan [mailto:houssam.ham...@netiks.com] Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 2:22 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'
