It may well do that but that makes no difference to the end user as at the point it's downloading the file, the bundle is running from the users TEMP directory. The issue is that if before I run the bundle, I have the mpi_x64.msi in the redist directory (along with the .NET 4.0 installer) the bundle can't find it. I have to dump it in the same directory as the bundle itself for it to acknowledge its presence otherwise it'll try to download it. It will however see the .NET 4.0 installer in the same directory quite happily & forgo the download for it.

Name attribute should be respected and it should place that file in the redist\mpi_x64.msi folder relative to the output bundle.exe.
