Hi Deepa, I think your CA's to add these registry entries are being run on both Install and repair. So, your CA for these must be like <Custom Action ="InstallCA" After="SomeCA">1</Custom>. You should change it to: <Custom Action ="InstallCA" After="SomeCA"><![CDATA[Not Installed]]></Custom>
Also, you would need to schedule custom actions that do/undo the desired activities on repair too. It might be that your missing scheduling this CA for repair. This can be done by: <Custom Action ="ReapirCA" After="SomeCA"><![CDATA[REINSTALL="ALL"]]></Custom> Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Deepa Choundappan [mailto:deepa...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 7:29 AM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Elevated privileges on a repair Hi - Our msi makes some registry changes during an install using custom actions to give a non-admin user privileges to read/write registry changes. It works fine and then repair comes along and what I am finding is that 1) Original registry changes are deleted 2) New registry entries are created - the custom actions that ACL these registry entries are not run. So at the end of a Repair - things are now messed up. What am I missing here? My first instinct was that the elevation of privileges did not happen but from the log I know my custom actions do not appear to have been scheduled, so it must be something else that I am missing doing on a Repair.
