Thanks for your quick reply :)
This makes you wonder why the MSI file is being cached anyway...
Is this a general issue (e.g. is it still there in WiX 3.0 or in MSI 4.x
?) and is there a way to get around this?
The most likely way is to copy the MSI file onto a directory after
installing and then altering the registry accordingly (as is noted in
Rule 31)
But i don't think this a nice solution.

If the product requires a repair to re-install a file then it will want
the original MSI file, and the best approach to this issue is to have
the original MSI available. You can't really guarantee that a repair
will never occur. Unpacking a setup and installing the MSI from a temp
location that gets deleted is not a good idea.

Subject: [WiX-users] Repair issue
Hi,
Does anyone know how the debug problems with the ARP repair
functionality?
The problem in my case is that the repair gives a 1706 error; (Dutch
version sorry ;)
Fout 1706. Kan geen installatiepakket vinden voor product Drumis -
Databaseonderdelen V2.90.2352.0. Voer de installatie opnieuw uit met een
geldig exemplaar van het installatiepakket DatabaseSetup.release-3.msi.
MSI (s) (30:60) [15:52:35:015]: Product: Drumis - Databaseonderdelen
V2.90.2352.0 -- Fout 1706. Kan geen installatiepakket vinden voor
product Drumis - Databaseonderdelen V2.90.2352.0. Voer de installatie
opnieuw uit met een geldig exemplaar van het installatiepakket
DatabaseSetup.release-3.msi.
What basically fails it that the installer attempts to read the source
MSI file from the original installation source (which might be a CD or a
temp-folder). Anyway, after installation the MSI file is no longer
available.
In the WINNT\Installer cache is a copy of the msi file. This matches the
one found in the registry at;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Userdata\S-1-5-
18\Products\<some id>\InstallProperties\LocalPackage
Am i doing wrong? Or is there something that is required in the WiX
file?
I am using WiX 2.0.5325.0, tested on Windows XP, SP 2.
I have my own CA DLL embedded in the MSI file.
