ActiveSetup registry repair
Hi,
I cannot remember how does active setup should be modified so it repairs just one particular registry key, not whole MSI. Can anyone give some examples?

Hi,
1) Create Current Feature as your parent feature & move your HKCU registry component in this feature directly
2) Specify stubpath command line as msiexec /fu {ProductCode} /qb!
3) This will repair your registry component only insted of whole MSI
If you're using activesetup write the registry key through script instead of triggering an MSI repair.
If you're instead able to use MSI self-heal (triggered through advertised entrypoint in MSI), put your registry key in a separate top-level feature that is parent to all other features.

What he said... You can't really selectively repair as far as I know. As Pjg said, you can with self-heal, if you structure your features and components right. - dandirk 12 years ago
Here are the repair options below. If you want only one registry key repaired you could use the command regedt32.exe /s "your registry key"
