Remove 'Change' button from MaintenaceTypeDialog

Question

After installation of the setup, when the user again clicks on the setup to open it in the maintenance mode, I want that only the 'Repair' and 'Remove' options are shown and the 'Change' option is not shown.

I can disable the 'Change' button using but I want to remove it and don't want to display it to the user.

Please suggest if this is possible.

Answer 1

You can include the Wix dialog set (.wxs) in your installer project (they can be downloaded from git). Edit MaintenanceTypeDlg.wxs file and remove the repair button and label.

Answer 2

Take a look at the Windows Installer properties which start with ARPNO prefix: ARPNOMODIFY (this is what you need), ARPNOREPAIR and ARPNOREMOVE. These properties define the availability of option in Add/Remove Programs console.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

If you are using WixUI_Mode and not using customized MaintenanceTypeDlg.wxs then you should define <Property Id="ARPNOMODIFY" Value="1" /> in YOUR_MAIN_UI.wxs file.
