Repair Options
/f[p|e|c|m|s|o|d|a|u|v] <Product.msi | ProductCode>
Repairs a product
p - only if file is missing
o - if file is missing or an older version is installed
(default)
e - if file is missing or an equal or older version is installed
d - if file is missing or a different version is installed
c - if file is missing or checksum does not match the
calculated value
a - forces all files to be reinstalled
u - all required user-specific registry entries (default)
m - all required computer-specific registry entries (default)
s - all existing shortcuts (default)
v - runs from source and recaches local package
I guess the real question is what are you expecting the repair to do that it
isn't doing? (I see the comment of deleted files.) Are you saying you do an
install, then manually delete files and do a repair and it isn't detecting the
missing files? If so, could you provide a sample of the component in which said
files reside?

I have seen log for those valus and they are:
MSI (s) (80:C8) [17:42:53:519]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding REINSTALLMODE property.
Its value is 'ecmus'.
MSI (s) (80:C8) [17:42:53:519]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding SECONDSEQUENCE
property. Its value is '1'.
MSI (s) (80:C8) [17:42:53:519]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding REINSTALL property.
Its value is 'ProductFeature,Complete'.
What should I do to resolve this issue?
