Starting installer 2nd time goes straight to uninstall!!!

When did running an installer (created by Advanced Installer 23.3) a 2nd time cause programs to automatically uninstall? No prompt. No dialog box. Nothing. Just uninstalls my program!!!
Thankfully discovered this while testing on a virtual machine.

I'm going to roll back to older Advanced Installer as this can't be right.

Re: Starting installer 2nd time goes straight to uninstall!!!

Hello,

Launching an installer for the second time should launch the setup in Maintenance mode, where the user can repair, modify or uninstall the product.

This is the default behavior of a Windows Installer package.

This is how the setup should look like when launched for a second time.

Could you please provide a copy of the AIP file by email at support at advancedinstaller dot com so I can have a look over the project settings?

Best regards,

Thank you.
That must be it as we have Modify and Repair turned off for the Control Panel part, so only option is to remove it looks like.
My fault then. Just freaked me out. :-)
