Repairing the software

Repairing the software lets you install (or reinstall) missing (or corrupted) components. You can repair a single installation of the software by using the Windows Control Panel on that workstation, or you can repair multiple workstation installations by using a command line.

Repairing a single installation

You can use the Windows Control Panel to repair a single installation.

To repair an installation with the Windows Control Panel

1 In the Windows Control Panel, display the list of currently installed programs, and choose the program from the list.

2 Click Uninstall/Change.

3 Enable the Repair option, and then click Repair.

4 Follow the on-screen instructions.

Repairing multiple installations

You can use a command line to repair multiple installations at a time.

/f - Basic repair

• Use the /f switch with the Setup.exe file on the server image:

\\server\path\Setup.exe /f

You cannot use the /f switch with public properties. For greater control over the repair process, use the REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE properties instead of /f.

The /f switch has the following parameters.

Parameter	What it does
p	Reinstalls missing files
o	Reinstalls missing files and files older than current version
e	Reinstalls missing files and files equal to or older than current version
d	Reinstalls missing files and files different from current version
a	Reinstalls all files
u	Reinstalls all required user-specific registry keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_USERS
m	Reinstalls all required computer-specific registry keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
s	Reinstalls all existing shortcuts
v	Runs from the source files and re-caches the local package

The default parameters for /f are oums.

REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE

Advanced repair

For greater control over how the software is repaired, use the REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE public properties together.

Property	What it does
REINSTALL=ALL	Reinstalls all program features. If you prefer to reinstall only specific features (see Deploying a custom set of features for a list), use the following syntax: REINSTALL=Feature
REINSTALLMODE=type	Specifies the type of reinstallation to perform. The values for this property are the same as the parameters for the /f switch, so its default values are oums.
