MSI doesn't cache the entire MSI file - it discards the embedded CAB file - so to check or reinstall files it needs access to the original installation source.
However, you should be seeing a browse dialog asking for the source. If you're not getting a browse dialog, that message you're seeing is may be something else. Are you seeing error 1606 or 1706? 1706 is missing source, 1606 is typically caused by a property being used as a directory, but it's not resolving to the local file system so it looks like a network location.

It seems to be impossible to repair the installation without the original msi file. If I delete the msi file, repairing allways ends with the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.". I thought the Windows Installer is caching the original msi file. If it doesn't, is there a possibility to fix the repair option?
