If we run our installation and then delete the msi when we're done,
uninstalling the program through add/remove works but selecting the
Change option fails. First it pops up the "The feature you are trying
to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" dialog, and if we
cancel out of that it generates a 1706 error.
I turned on automatic logging but don't see any obvious problems. I'm
not sure what's triggering the ResolveSource action that causes the
problem. Unless there's some specific error that's causing the problem
I need a way to make sure the msi is always available even if the user
gets rid of the original copy.
The person who handles the older InstallAware msi's says that they
have an "web install" option they can set that will make sure the
whole msi gets cached in Windows\Installer. Are there any similar
options in Wix, either for individual components or the whole msi?
The other alternative I'm considering is copying the entire msi to the
target folder during installation, but that seems rather awkward and I
haven't figure out what registry setting I'd need to fix to get
Add/Remove Programs to look for the msi in the new location.
The relevant section from the automatic log (as best as I can tell anyways):
