Hi

I never set any of the ARPxxx properties in my installer code. I noticed
that by default, the entry for my application under
HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{guid} always contains an
entry for NoModify set to 0x00000001.

On Vista and W2K8 I get both Repair/Remove options in ARP. On XP and W2K3, I
only see remove. This seems to be consistent with the Windows Installer
documentation:

"On earlier operating systems, clicking the *Add or Remove Programs* button
uninstalls the product rather than entering the maintenance mode wizard."
and

"On Windows 2000, this disables the *Change* button for the product in the *Add
or Remove Programs* of the *Control Panel*."

My question then: is it possible to get consistent behavior across W2K,
W2K3, W2K8, XP and Vista so that ARP always provides a user with the same
set of choices?

Thanks,
Jacques
