only if the images were already present in the original MSI but not selected.

ie in another feature etc.

I suspect thats not what you want, from the looks you want to add resources to an msi then repair it as opposed to uninstall / reinstall.

if this is your requirement perhaps patching is a better method. This has some dependancies on feature structure etc..

You cannot change the MSI information during a repair and therefore not make this "requrest".
Is it a big problem for the current user already having the application installed?
If not then just update the original MSI so the changes will take place to the next user getting the installation.

If you would like to "fix" this for the users already having the application installed then perform a reinstall with an update (original) MSI.
You could also just change the registry entry under its "...\uninstall\<ProductCode> reg key as a quick-fix and further update the cached MSI + cached storage for the ICON being used.

If you change the images in the cached MSI, then you could probably get away with just copying the modified cached msi to the c:\windows\installer folder on affected machines, to overwrite the existing MSI. Then running a repair should present the new images, but of course it will result in a repair of the entire feature containing the shortcuts, which in turn may require access to the original source.

Next time, try and get it right in the original MSI !!

I guess a repair would work IF you used the ARPPRODUCTICON as this is used by the RegisterProduct action.
If add the ARP icon through Registry table then it would depend if the Component holding the registry entry is found broken or forcing it by adding the "m" option to the REINSTALLMODE property (use the property through the commandline).

Kim,
Not sure how ARPPRODUCTICON fits in to this question, as I assume the OP is asking about start menu shortcut icons, and not the add/remove product icon.

hmm, I thought the OP was talking about changing the icon (picture/image) in ARP for the package.

I'm assuming since the question referred to "icons" rather than "icon", that the issue was with start menu icons.
However, it's not really that clear, is it...??
