Hi I believe I have hit a bug in WIX bootstrapper(setupbld.exe and setup.exe). Our product is localized and for achieving localization we use Wix bootstrapper(setupbld.exe) to apply a language transform on top of an English msi. Hence, when the user doubleclicks a setup.exe(which contains the MSI and language transforms), I see two files being cached to the directory specified by theInstallSource folder(as specified by the value of registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\<GUID>. These two files are the msi and the transform file.
So far so good i.e. the product installation works fine. However, after the product installation if the user double clicks the setup.exe again, a maintenance mode screen pulls up. If a user clicks cancel after this dialog pulls up, then the msi in the InstallSource folder gets deleted. This has the consequence that future uninstalls or repair/change from the Add or Remove programs fail with the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". I have been able to reproduce this behavior consistently while using bootstrapper from WIX version 3.0.5419. Please let me know how I can address this issue and if needed open a bug.
