Remove "Change" and "Repair" buttons in Add or Remove Programs

Question

I have created a Wix installer and have packed it in a bootstrap program. When I execute the bootstrap program it creates the following entries in the registry : alt text http://n2.nabble.com/file/n4011693/Up.jpg When I run the bootstrap program it installs well and when I run the Add/Remove programs it shows "Change" button and "Repair" button. My requirement is that - I want these two buttons to be one as "Change/Repair" like in other applications - When I select this button I want my bootstrap program (setup.exe) to run and not the msi This is my code area : ```

Accepted Answer

You can set the ARPNOMODIFY and ARPNOREPAIR properties in wix, which will disable the "change" and "repair" options for your product in the "add/remove programs" list. (This is actually equivalent to leppie's answer, but it's a better idea to use the Windows Installer properties rather than hacking at the registry directly.) ``` ```
