Basically right. For the last point, it's on my todo list to get some of our code that really should be more reusable than it is under a more liberal license. It's just behind other pressing work. -Original Message- From: Blair Murri [mailto:os...@live.com] Sent: Friday, November 8, 20

If the cached MSI were deleted, when burn ran, unless you were uninstalling burn would recache the MSI before running (whatever) operation, and if you know that the MSI requires source for uninstall you should be able to recache the package during the plan, right? So, the window for a resolve
