Hi Pavan,
Below is my code where I added the node, but it still does not replace the
edited file under the repair version.
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Microsoft Azure Cost Estimator
Tool">
<Component Id="ApplicationFiles"
Guid="fasd-dasd-4BAE-dased-asdfasdf" KeyPath="yes">
<File Id="ApplicationFile1" Source="abc.exe" />

Repair has nothing to do with upgrade. During repair you are usually running
the same install to repair broken files or replace files.
If you want to replace the files make sure to use Keypath="yes" in the
component where you declare all your files. Setting it to "no" will not replace
it.

Subject: [WiX-users] Replacing all the files forcefully with repair.
We made a MSI installer with WIX. It installs some files into a directory
created in 'Program Files', and all works fine. However, if I change (with a
text editor) a file that has been installed and then attempt to repair the
product, the file is not repaired, i.e. it is not replaced by an original
version provided in MSI.
Then I went through the below link,
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759262%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?ppud=4#BKMK_Repair
It shows the command line options as /fa to do this and it works. How can I
implement it in my WXS file. Below is my code for upgrade, <Upgrade
Id="$(var.ProductUpgradeCode)">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ProductVersion)" OnlyDetect="yes"
Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED"/>
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="0.0.0" Maximum="$(var.ProductVersion)"
IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no"
Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED"/>
</Upgrade>
<Condition Message="A newer version of this software is already
installed.">NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED</Condition>
On repair we would like to replace all the files in the folder with the one in
MSI.
Thanks,
Nikhil.
