I have a website that serves msi packages....at the point of

for the same package the repair fails giving a network error...any
ideas anyone???
If you choose Run, the browser saves the .msi file in its cache and it
probably will be cleaned up. Repair requires the original .msi package
to get to the original files; MSI looks for it in the original directory
it installed from (the browser cache).
The general approach is to offer .exe downloads that know how to cache
the .msi in a localappdata directory. (The WiX setupexe chainer does
that, for example.)
