[wix-users] How to launch repair action for missing files through a burn bootstrapper?

[John Cooper]

That depends on your logic.  If your MSI are correctly authored to support Repair, they should just work regardless of the reason you're running a Repair.  And if you can run a Repair, you can often also author a Patch and deploy it.

Thank you for the prompt reply mate. So that means repair button would be present whether the files are missing  or not right? If the package state is present, I should always display the repair button right?

to handle the command line cases.  See the MBA for WiX itself for those details.

the packages are absent. But is it possible to launch the repair action if any of the installed files are missing? I have marked the files as KeyPath=yes and included them in the MSI. I can repair the missing files using the MSI. But how can I launch the repair action through the bootstrapper EXE? Any help would be much appreciated.
