Hi,
You can try the following -
1. Add a property IS_IT_ARPREPAIR and set its value to zero
2. Through your installer, when the installation is successful update
the following key's value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{
GUID}\UninstallString
The default value should be something like msiexec /i{product code}
Update it to msiexec /i{product code} IS_IT_ARPREPAIR=1
3. Put a condition in your maintenance to do its amgic if
IS_IT_ARPREPAIR is 1 and not otherwise.
This is my first post. I do hope its helpful.
Cheers,
Gaurav Malhotra

Subject: [WiX-users] How to distinguish between "full repair"
and"self-repair"?
Hi guys,
How to distinguish between "full repair" from Add/Remove Programs and
"self-repair" started by the shortcut for each new user when the key
path of the shortcut is not found?
Is the difference in the value of REINSTALLMODE is robust enough?
REINSTALLMODE=ecmus -- full repair,
REINSTALLMODE=pocmus -- self repair.
Our product contains a big database that we cannot place inside a .cab
file. In case of "full repair" we need to reinstall database, to find
it from a CA we need to call ResolveSource before. And we don't want
to call ResolveSource when a new user starts our product for the first
time.
Best regards,
Ilya Slobodin
