Healing

MSI technology has in built self repairing mechanisms. As such it is generally unwise to alter file and folder names, shortcuts or registry manually, as this may trigger the MSI which deployed the files to redeploy them.

However, it is expected that alterations will be made to Appware, Sample Data, shortcuts and .bat file variables. As such, AVEVA installations have been designed to minimize the ability of the MSI to heal itself in such cases.

Sample Data, Models, example projects and shortcuts, should not trigger healing if they are deleted or altered. The consequence of making shortcuts editable/deletable is that MSI Advertising will not function.
