I do not know if there is a build in way to skip the repair when using the predefined PackageGroupRef. If you look at src\ext\NetFxExtension\wixlib\NetFx4.wxs you will see how it is defined. I assume you can implement a ExePackage element in your chain, like we must do for .Net packages that do n

Yes - that's what merge modules do. They are the same resource component in a package used to build multiple products to keep the sharing working properly. Put the shared components in merge modules to be safer. If you're all WiX there are WiX fragments. This assumes that the resource is the same

What condition did you use on the CA in the original install? If you had used a better condition the CA would already be running during the patch install.
