Windows Installer Resilient Source

by theo90 . Updated 25 years, 5 months ago

As we all know, an MSI file used to install an application (in order to be Win2k compliant) could be customized via a transform to meet the company requirements for different aspects:installation directory, features to be installed, etc.
So far, Microsoft has not been able to come up with a reliable solution regarding resilient sources aspect. The Installer service sets as SOURCELIST the last known good source where the applcation is instaled from. If this becomes unavailable, at repair time the user will be prompted with a browser window to select a source location.How could we dynamically set the SOURCELIST property so when a mobile user moves from point A to point B, the property will be assigned a new value, based on a pre-defined list of sources?
