Generally you don't need to worry about the user running the same MSI again. For example, if you are using a Wix UI then running the same MSI again results in a Change/Repair/Remove dialog. Running the same MSI again doesn't result in installing the product again (or a copy of it) but it does result in a maintenance mode. So this problem you're trying to solve shouldn't exist. I think the problem is that you have a custom action that may be running at install time as well as repair and uninstall too maybe. The condition I use on a CA for that is -Not Installed- so it runs only if the product is not already installed. --------------- Phil Wilson
