I am working with the Windows Installer APIs (msi.dll). I would like to be
able to harvest the paths of file components of certain products installed
on the system. I am currently using the automation interface and what I am
finding when calling get_ComponentPath() is that the full path is only
returned if the keypath (i.e. keypath attribute set to "yes") on the
component is set. I cannot always rely on the keypath being set.

Does anyone know if this is a limitation of the the Automation interface? I
am going to try the raw APIs, but I just wanted to get some feedback. This
code needs to be as efficient as possible for performance reasons.
Otherwise, I am wondering if I might have to build the path using the File
and Directory tables.

Thanks.
