    Is it possible to disable from the msi file to run after the first installation done?

    Thanks

    That's pretty much what happens. If you install the MSI file, and then try to install it again it will not in fact install it. It will ask if you want to repair or uninstall it.  If you're trying to prevent the MSI installing again, well it doesn't install again anyway.

    Hi Gad,

    I'm not sure about what exactly do you mean by "disable from the msi file to run". Can you elaborate?

    Thanks!
