visual studio .net setup: Hi,

I have a very strange problem.
I have build .Net setup to install C# application that uses some
registered COM objects.
Everething works fine.
But after some period or may be after some registry changes, when i
trying to start my application it running setup again.

Why does it happens ?
Which changes may cause this behaviour ?

I will provide more info if nessesary.

Thanks,
Pavel.

MSI is repairing the product. That's the way Windows Installer works. If you
install some files or registry entries and delete them, they get repaired
and restored.

Hi Phil,

[quoted text, click to view]

Is there some way to avoid such behavior ?

If i will add registry entries with Installer class and not in setup
designer, may be this will help ?

Thanks,
Pavel
