Repair another MSI from uninstall
My scenario:
Upon uninstalling Adobe Acrobat 8 *, the file associations, among other things, are broken for PDF files. Repairing the Reader install fixes this. I'd like to have the Reader repair called as the last step of my Acrobat uninstall. Running the msiexec command line from a CA gives an error, as a Windows Installer Process is already running.
Is there a way to repair another MSI's features from a custom action, or to somehow schedule the command to run after the current msiexec exits, without using a vbscript wrapper for the uninstall command?
