How do you disable a self repair

I have an MSI that performs a self pair when a new user logons and launches the exe, because of registry keys missing (the keys be pushed in using GPO).

tried DISABLEADVTSHORCUTS=1, cleared the key file for the exe component and cleared the property ReinstallModeText. I don't want to delete the component guid in the component table as the installer does not register the component and the component cannot be removed.

Is there a easy clean way to disable/hide this feature?

Thanks

Short of disabling the windows installer service (don't do it, I've seen people try.... DOH! ), you can never disable self repair. It's a critical feature to windows installer and you should solve the root problem rather then trying to avoid the cure.
