Description:
It is common in Windows installers to have a 'repair' option. Such option will (at least) (over)write files that were accidentally deleted or damaged.

How to repeat:
I will post an image showing that this option is missing.

Suggested fix:
Add 'repair' option to the installer.

Options are add, modify, upgrade & remove - but no repair
