An unconditional ResolveSource action can have this effect, but that
doesn't seem likely if it's intermittent (unless there IS a condition
that makes it intermittent).
People do occasionally delete the contents of Windows\installer,
assuming it's temporary. That's worth asking about. IIRC there is also a
rare issue where the system account loses access to windows\installer,
and that has the same effect.

Subject: [WiX-users] uninstall requires msi package
On rare occasions, we get reports that our product requires the original
msi package when attempting to uninstall.
Under what conditions does this occur? The only way I can recreate this
issue is by deleting the cached instance in C:\Windows\Installer. Is
there another way?
