MSI automatic reinstall option

[Filippo Bettinaglio]

Hi,
I am using install shield 5 which creates a MSI package,
now how can I disabale the reinstall option for this
package?

Every time that i delete one component (.ocx)
the automatic reinstall reinstall the deleted file.
I don't want it.

Thanks
FILIPPO

This autorepair is one of the benefits of Windows Installer. If you really
want to enable your users to delete the OCX manually, you should not mark it
as key file of the component. But you can't do that in InstallShield
Express, you would either have to use a tool such as Orca, or move to the
full version of InstallShield X which gives you access to the components.
