Hi, Thanks for your answer.
"new download of the MSI" - means that I downloaded the same MSI again from the webserver (which is indeed the same one (packagecode, upgradecodes etc...)). Another copy of our MSI was also available on the local DISK in a directory listed in den SourceList (also available in the appropriate registry key). best regards, Martin -----Original Message----- From: Phil Wilson [mailto:phil.wil...@mvps.org] Sent: Mittwoch, 24.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Repair doesn't find MSI There are some things you can do based around the MsiSourceListAddSource () function (and scripting equivalents) that let you define alternate paths to locate the MSI that Windows requires. So you can put it on a network server and then tell Windows to look there for repair (or adding features etc). I don't know what "new download of the MSI" means. The MSI needed for repair must be the same one used in the original install. If you rebuild the MSI and change something in it, then you need to do some kind of update, not do a repair with the new MSI thinking it will repair from there, just in case that's where you're going with this.

If the MSI package was installed via msiexec /qn /I "<msifilepath>.msi", the MSI searches for the original package only in the folder <msifilepath>, not where the operating system stores a copy of the MSI, or where I try to repair from a new location, with a new download of the MSI. Uninstall works fine. regards, Martin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
