Hi everyone, I'm seeing some behaviour I don't understand. If you modify an installation, but don't actually add or remove any features, then I thought nothing happened. If I delete a folder before the modify, then the installer repairs it. I'm not seeing anything in the log thought that indicates why this is happening. During ProcessComponents it seems to identify the missing files, like so:
Action 07:52:09: ProcessComponents. Updating component registration MSI (s) (24:B8) [07:52:09:384]: Executing op: ProgressTotal(Total=10,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=24000) MSI (s) (24:B8) [07:52:09:384]: Executing op: ComponentRegister(ComponentId={7D81B708-071A-4183-84D2-729868B60F72},KeyPath=<path-to-my-deleted-file>,State=3,,Disk=1,SharedDllRefCount=0,BinaryType=0) 1: {C96A5806-5732-4752-8CD1-62F7C43D3BD4} 2: {7D81B708-071A-4183-84D2-729868B60F72} 3: <path-to-my-deleted-file> and then later on I see this: MSI (s) (24:B8) [07:52:09:765]: Executing op: FileCopy(SourceName=<my-deleted-filename>,SourceCabKey=<my-deleted-filename>,DestName=<my-deleted-filename>,Attributes=512,FileSize=195072,PerTick=32768,,VerifyMedia=1,,,,,CheckCRC=0,Version=1.8.7.110,Language=2057,InstallMode=58982400,,,,,,,) MSI (s) (24:B8) [07:52:09:765]: File: <path-to-my-deleted-file>; To be installed; Won't patch; No existing file MSI (s) (24:B8) [07:52:09:765]: Source for file '<my-deleted-filename>' is compressed InstallFiles: File: vsibuild.exe, Directory: <my-deleted-folder>, Size: 195072 MSI (s) (24:B8) [07:52:09:765]: Note: 1: 2318 2: <path-to-my-deleted-file> How would I detect that the installer is actually doing something? I have conditons based on a feature being installed (&feature=3), a feature being removed (&feature=2) and a feature being repaired (REINSTALL >< "feature"). This all works pretty well, but not for this instance. Would I have to have conditions based on the components instead? Any ideas?
