This sounds like a custom action that's being called, perhaps based on the component's action state being to-be-installed. It's more likely that the solution is to do something like amend the condition on the custom action to include "and Not Installed" so that it doesn't run during a repair when the product is already installed.

What it does is add a new line to machine.config using XmlConfig element. But when i clicked on the repair button for repair, the component described above is called again i.e the line which was added to machine.config is added again. So i decided on using a registrykey and registry value as a component keypath that would aid during the repair process.. Here is the code for registry value <Component....> < RegistryKey Action="create" Root="HKLM" Key="<some path" > < RegistryValue Type="string" Value="Modified" KeyPath="yes"> </RegistryValue> </RegistryKey> <XmlConfig> ... </XmlConfig> </Component> Now during installtion the registry key is created. But during repair the component gets called again. i.e a new line is added to machine.config.(So there is new use of using the registry value as component keypath.) Can someone point out as to where am i goin wrong.? or is there some way to control the repair process.? -- Best Regards.
