REPAIR an application

Hi,

Here is the problem that Iam experiencing, does anyone has a
suggestion/solution ??

I use C# .NET Deployment project to install my application, which
installs few windows Services. The following are the sequence of steps to
simulate the problem

1) INSTALL the Application by clicking the setup.exe. Because the
applilcation uses some user specific services, it prompts for a username and
password.
(Assume that the user has give correct username and password and the install
has completed successfully).

2) REPAIR clicking the setup.exe again. As the Installed application is
already available, setup either asks for a Repair or Reinstall. When Repair
is chosen, the services are also reinstalled again asking for a username and
password. when invalid username and password are given the setup RollsBack,
removing the sevices.

3) UNINSTALL the application thru Add or Remove Progarms will cause an error
because incomplete REPAIR operation has removed the services.

Is there any way to disable the REPAIR option ?

Thanks
MMR
