What Is Self-healing? |
|
Answer» When an MSI-based APPLICATION is launched (by clicking on an advertised shortcut or file TYPE association), Windows Installer checks the existence of key path items. If there is a mismatch between the current SYSTEM state and the value specified in the MSI package (e.g., a key file or REGISTRY is MISSING), then the related feature is reinstalled. This process is also known as self-healing or self-repair.
