I wrote an installer using WiX. When I try to deinstall from the windows system panel the installer framework occasionally wants to access the original installer source (msi-file).

However, in this case the product was installed from a network drive that is no longer available (see screenshot - sorry in German).

I always thought windows is putting a copy of the msi in its installer cache and is using this copy for deinstallation - so why is it trying to access the network drive in some cases? How can I make sure the cached MSI is always used?
