What you're describing is vaguely similar to how we do things. There's a single server in each of our locations that contains MSIs that are installed on other systems in that location across the network. I just package the client MSIs in a bigger MSI, and install the bigger MSI on the server.

Thanks for looking at this - Downgrading the p4 client cannot be done in this case because the newer p4 server requires the new one. BUT! The good news is that I figured it out. You must manually edit the wixproj file: replace this: SccProjectNameSAK/SccProjectName

Not only do mapped drive letters belong to a user, but impersonated custom actions do not load the user's profile, so trying to access that user's documents folder from code will fail unless you arrange to use the appropriate Windows Installer property, probably AppDataFolder. In other words using
