Does anyone know how to specify a remote payload in Burn that is an MSI,
rather than an executable ? 

 

I can't work out if I'm doing it wrong or if this is a bug. When I compile
the fragment below, I get the this error, which has a blank path:

 

Unable to read package ''. This installation package could not be opened.
Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the
application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.

 

If I change the payload from remote to included, by specifying
MsiPackage/@SourceFile instead of RemotePayload, then it works. 

I also have one other remote MSI payload that has the same problem, so I
don't think it is specific to the MSI. 

Using a file: protocol in the download URL to point to a local copy doesn't
help.

Pasting the URL into a browser downloads the MSI, as expected.

Remote ExePackages work fine.
