Enable Maintenance

When I install an application using InstallShield, a InstallScript MSI Project, I want to disable the ability to "Modify" and "Repair" the installation.

When I go to Project Properties > Enable Maintenance > False

I get the following error:

The setup has detected that no version of [Program] is installed. The specified command-line options require that the application be installed to continue.

The setup will now terminate.

Why? How does someone disable those two options. I want remove only.

Thanks

I am having the same issue.

What is the difference with that option and the 'Disable Change Button' under Add/Remove Programs section?

This is logged as IOA-000048734, which was fixed in InstallShield 2010.

As a workaround for InstallShield 2009, you might want to try to select No for Enable Maintenance. Then in the OnMaintUIBefore and OnMaintUIAfter event handlers, comment out the code that calls the maintenance dialogs.

Here's a help topic that explains that Enable Maintenance setting (and the Disable Change Button setting):
Setting the Enable Maintenance Mode

I hope that helps.
