Hi, The default REINSTALLMODE property is omus that causes all registry entries to be overwritten. If you set REINSTALLMODE to os only files will be updated and no registry values will be written. In this case standard action WriteRegistryValues is not called. Please be aware that in this case your patch will not be able to add new registry as well. We solved this problem this way: during patch installation we save all dynamic values (i.e. values that can be changed by user) to properties and use omus mode to add new registry. We do not care if all registry is overwritten since we write the same values as before.
