Difference between Selfheal and Repair of MSI

Self Heal and Repair are two different concepts in Windows Installer which people gets confused with.


Self Heal is triggered by advertised shortcuts, or other advertising information in the package which eventually Repairs respective feature


Repair of an MSI can be triggered by

Repair button in Add/Remove programs
Using command line msiexec /f{optional switches} <Path of MSI>

MSI Uninstallation Command

MSI can be uninstalled in two ways.


1. MSIEXEC /x <ProductCode> /qb
2. MSIEXEC /x <Path of MSI> /qb


If in case MSI and MST are installed together, MST is not required during uninstallation. just the above commands are enough

SysDrv=objshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%systemdrive%")


Profile = SysDrv & "\Documents and Settings"
Set FSfolder = FSO.GetFolder(Profile) 'getting the user profile folders


'starting of the loop to delete the HKCUs

For Each subfolder In FSfolder.SubFolders

   If (subfolder.Name <> "All Users" And  subfolder.Name <> "Default User"_
   and subfolder.Name <> "LocalService" and subfolder.Name <> "NetworkService") Then

folder1=Profile & "\" & subfolder.Name & "\Application Data\Documentum\Client for Outlook"



RenameFolder(folder1)



   end if

Next

'*******************************************************************************************************

    'msgbox Foldername & ".old"
FSO.MoveFolder FolderName, Foldername & ".old"
