It would be useful for several reasons to allow 'repairing' an install. We can allow applications to repair themselves via UpdateManager, but also allow a "Repair" option via Programs & Features.

  • It gives us an opportunity to update to the latest version if a broken app version was shipped and is now bricked from receiving further updates.
  • It gives us another opportunity to install any missing runtimes, if an update was performed in error that requires a new framework.
  • It allows users to fix mistakes if they were fiddling with the application files and broke something accidentally.

It is no longer relevant to check for missing runtimes when 'repairing', since this is done every time the app starts in current dev branches.
