Hmm, I'd bet that if you compare the REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE properties of the log files from both would show a difference. I'm a bit confused as to why you are expecting key path (registry) entries to be deleted. If the key path is saying the component is there and a repair happens and the feature is selected, it should skip any further checks of other "objects" within said component.

Subject: [WiX-users] Only one Registry Entry gets deleted while Repair I am seeing this strange behavior of my installer while performing Repair. When I do Right-click -> Repair, things happens great. I get back my missing (deleted) files. and also custom action preforms great. But when I double-click the installer and perform repair via Maintenance Mode, things happen OK but only one registry value gets deleted while rest other two remains the same. I am not sure why this happens? <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_MACHINENAME" After="CostFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_SDK_MACHINE" After="CA_SetProperty_MACHINENAME">NOT Installed</Custom> <!--For Uninstall--> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_SDKMACHINE" After="AppSearch">Installed</Custom> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_INSTALLPATH" After="CA_SetProperty_SDKMACHINE">Installed</Custom></InstallUISequence> <InstallExecuteSequence> <!--Set properties for Installation--> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_MACHINENAME" After="CostFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_SDK_MACHINE" After="CA_SetProperty_MACHINENAME">NOT Installed</Custom> <!--For Repair--> <Custom Action="CA_SetBase_Repair" Before="CA_Install">Installed AND NOT (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom> <!--Set properties for Uninstall--> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_SDKMACHINE" After="AppSearch">Installed</Custom> <Custom Action="CA_SetProperty_INSTALLPATH" After="CA_SetProperty_SDKMACHINE">Installed</Custom> <!--For UnInstall--> <Custom Action="CA_SetBase_UnInstall" Before="CA_UnInstall">Installed</Custom> <Custom Action="CA_UnInstall" After="MsiUnpublishAssemblies">Installed AND REMOVE="ALL"</Custom></InstallExecuteSequence> <!--This is how I populate registry--><Component Id="SDK_Machine_RegistryEntries" Guid="4B134F16-5CB0-4BC5-8D08-EAFB1D4A71F6"> <Condition>Not Installed</Condition> <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\!(loc.CompanyName)\!(loc.ProductName)"> <RegistryValue Type="string" Name="SDKServiceMachine" Value="[INSTALLMACHINE]" KeyPath="yes"/> </RegistryKey></Component> <!--Custom action to populate regstry--><CustomAction Id="CA_SetProperty_SDK_MACHINE" Property="INSTALLMACHINE" Value="[SDK_MACHINE]" Execute="firstSequence" /> <!--Getting the value for registry--><!--Search for Operations Manager SDK machine name from Registry--><Property Id="SDK_MACHINE" Secure="yes"> <RegistrySearch Id="SDK_Machine" Root="HKCU" Key="Software\....\....\...."
