Active Setup\Repair if source is no longer on c:
Hi,
The company I work for use AD deployment. The MSI is copied to a temp folder on c:, installed, then the source is deleted.
If it's a computer assigned MSI (that has HKCU or appdata files), when a user logs on, active setup runs, it fails to repair as it no longer has access to the source.
I know there is a cut down version of the MSI in c:\windows\installer, but can the app repair if it requires files? I would have thought the MSI would have to remain in the source that it was installed from for a full repair to be successful?
Is this correct?
Thanks...

can the app repair if it requires files?In a word, no.
