overwriting ARPNOREPAIR=1
Hi guys,
Is there a way you can overwrite ARPNOREPAIR=1 on the command line so that the it enables the button. This is for our deployment people who do not want to go editing msi. I think you could run a vbscript to do this but is there anything i can add to the end of msiexec /i .........
Regards

Except you can set ARPNOREPAIR to whatever value you like - it won't make a blind bit of difference!
Unless you remove the property or "blank it" the button will be missing.
Try this variation of Brent's command line:
msiexec /I packagename.msi ARPNOREPAIR=""
See here for details on how to use properties:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/msi/setup/getting_and_setting_properties.asp
Something else that might be worth mentionning, is how to enable the button after the product has been installed. An administrator can change the following "REG_DWORD" key from 1 to 0.
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}\NoRepair"
The Xs represent the product code.

Hehe
I'm glad BrentHunter answered that - my understanding is that any property passed in the command-line will over-ride internal property settings...

Note ARPNOREPAIR only affects the display in the ARP. The Windows Installer is still capable of repairing, installing-on-demand, and uninstalling applications through a command line or the programming interface.
WiseUser, Excellent tip with the registry key. Plus two for you!

Thanks Bob!!
I've been posting frantically for several weeks now, in the desperate hope that someone would increment my score which has been stagnating for far too long.[:D]
