    Article summary

    In some cases, an app can get corrupted or for example, the cache reaches a storage size that requires cleanup. In these cases, you need to use the repair option for that specific application.
    There are two ways in which you can configure the repair option for a package, as described in this article.

    For this functionality to work, the Liquit Universal Agent must be running on the targeted device.
    This functionality does not apply to an Open URL type of action.

    Automatic configuration

    For any package with an Install type action set, with the Frequency option configured as Once per device, the repair option becomes automatically available for the user. Once the user clicks the option in the context menu (right click menu) of the app in Workspace, it reinstalls the application.

    Custom configuration

    There are some cases in which the reinstallation of an app would not solve the problem.
    Let's take for example the 7-Zip software. Let's say that the language of the UI is changed and you want to set it back to English. The reinstallation will not revert the language of the UI because it is saved in the user profile, so you need to overwrite a Windows registry key value.

    You need to create a Repair action set and inside it a Set registry value type of action with the following configuration:
    Key - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip
    Name - Lang
    Type - SZ
    Value - en
