    <p>You're installing an <a href="http://msipackagingforvista.com/what-is-an-advertised-shortcut.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Advertised Shortcut</a>, this means when you double click on the shortcut to run the application Windows Installer checks to ensure that all files, registry keys, etc that should be installed are installed. </p> <p>For some reason Windows Installer is detecting that your installation has become "corrupt", this might mean that a file has changed, been deleted, registry keys are missing or whatever. </p> <p>If you install a non-advertised shortcut you'll stop the repair happening. However the better solution is to try and figure out <em>why</em> it's attempting to repair your installation. Generally it's an indication that you've got a problem with your application or installation design - any "key file" in a component isn't permitted to change by default and will be "repaired" if it's modified. You probably don't have any other options in Visual Studio, as it's fairly limited. </p> <p>I'd highly recommend picking up a copy of <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1590592972" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer</a>, it explains all the Windows Installer concepts clearly using VS2005 and showing how to work around some of the limitations by editing the MSI with Orca.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> (Looked up the in book for you...) you probably need to add <code>DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS</code> to the <code>Property</code> table with a value of <code>1</code>. I don't use VS so I can't say if there's a checkbox or not. </p> <p>You might also be able to "cache" the MSI in the Windows folder, this means you can still repair even if the original MSI is deleted. Again, unsure how to do this with VS.</p>

    1. COThanks for the info! Here, they have an in-house upgrade system and when the application got upgraded it causes this problem. I'm now running the msi using: msiexec /i Setup.msi DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS=1

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
