A Yelp study shows that if someone had a good customer service experience
Will the app still repair for users who have limited (no) rights to the local ccmcache folder?
So if an .MSI needs to write files to the user profile %AppData%\Roaming\appname will they repair achieve this function?
Is it possible to remotely run the repair command on behalf of the user? for example – I do not want to ability for users to repair their own applications, however want to give this permission to 1st Line Support who have limited access to SCCM.
I don ‘t seem to be able to create new deployments with powershell to include this feature. Anyone knows how to create/modify an app deployment that includes this parameter?
Start-CMApplicationDeployment or Set-CMApplicationDeployment or New-CMApplicationDeployment don’t seem to have this parameter…
Discovered a bit of a bug with the repair. If you run a batch file script, then the end user (non-admin) has the ability to Ctrl+C out of it and end up with an elevated command prompt. Surely MS could have included the option to run REPAIR as hidden as well as the installation/uninstall?
Do you also know the Powershell command / parameter for the Repair Option? Thank you
What about that C2R Office installer, whats the magic /switch to repair that one?
This info worked for me:

Command is:
“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\OfficeClickToRun.exe” scenario=Repair platform=x86 culture=en-us forceappshutdown=True RepairType=QuickRepair DisplayLevel=False
Worked for my 2016 C2R deployment
