You can't absolutely prevent repair because the user can always right-click
the MSI file and choose Repair, and that will restore the file. You can edit
the MSI file to stop automatic repair with DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS set to 1 in
the property table of the MSI file, use Orca to do that.

file with old file Name.
How to stop automatic repair?

When you say "change UDL file" does that mean it was removed or just
updated? It sounds like the normal Windows Installer automatic repair is
being activated by use of the shortcut.
