Post log excerpts. I have an opposite issue. I have to force REINSTALLMODE="o" to *AVOID* Registry from being updated with original values. However, for me Change leads to either Repair or Uninstall. I don't really know what just Change by itself means or does. Repair should definitely restore Registry value that was set during the original installation.

Subject: [WiX-users] Updating registry during Install/UnInstall/Change Hi, My scenario needs to create/update registry values on Install/Change. My code to create the registry is:- <Component Id="MyRegistry" Win64="yes" Guid="<MyGuid>"> <RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="<MyKey>"> <RegistryValue Name="<MyName>" Type="string" Value="[MYPUBLICPROP]" KeyPath="yes"/> </RegistryKey> </Component> The registry is created on install with the value of MYPUBLICPROP. However after install, if I choose 'Change' to update the public property the registry value is not updated. From the logs it appears that the Component at that point is considered as already installed and hence the registry value is not updated. What should I be doing to be able to update registry during Change? Any help is much appreciated.
