Features and components both have "state" information which indicate the 
current state [status] and requested action of the feature / component.

Refer to:

        and perhaps this: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367858(VS.85).aspx


WI allows applications [or portions of an application] to run directly from a 
network share without the need for the application to be installed on a local 
machine [of course, assuming the application supports this, etc...].  This is 
what you refer to as "Run from Source".  

What you refer to as "Run from Local" means pretty much just that...the feature 
will be installed locally on the machine.

I don't have an easy to understand WiX sample for this (not sure if someone 
already might have blogged on this)
