Using MSI Doctor to Verify Package Deployment Status
AdminStudio 2025 R2 | 30.0 | QualityMonitor
QualityMonitor is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.
You can use QualityMonitor’s MSI Doctor to verify if an MSI package is installed properly. This helps prevent users from seeing an auto-repair dialog box when they run the application. Auto repair messages are displayed by applications to attempt to reinstall missing/corrupted components.
By examining an application using QualityMonitor MSI Doctor, you can quickly identify any problems by checking the status of all products and features. Using MSI Doctor, you can:
-
See the status of all components
-
Verify if any files are missing or if any files do not match the version or size specified in the MSI file
-
See the components status segregated by features
-
Configure or reinstall features
-
Reinstall components
To use MSI Doctor, select the Deployment Status node (
) from the QualityMonitor View List to access the Deployment Status View. Under the Deployment Status node, a tree view of the application’s features are components are listed:
The following icons are displayed in the tree view and in the component list and indicate the feature or component’s status:
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Installed | Feature or Component is installed on the local machine. |
 | Uninstalled | Feature or Component is not installed on the local machine. |
 | Broken | Component is broken (a key file in the Component is missing) or Feature contains a broken Component. |
 | Run From Source | Feature or Component is configured to run from a source location (rather than being installed on the local machine). |
 | On Demand | Feature is configured to be installed when needed. Not applicable to Components. |
Shortcut Menu Functionality
The following table lists the functions available on the shortcut menus for the Deployment Status icon, Features, and Components, and the dialog boxes that appear when those functions are selected:
| Shortcut Menu | Deployment Status Node | Feature Node | Component Node |
|---|---|---|---|
| Configure | Install or Configure Product Dialog Box | Install or Configure Feature Dialog Box | N/A |
