Settle an Argument about Uninstalling an MSI...
- I say you Don't need access to the original source location to uninstall an MSI. (The uninstall action references the Windows Installer Cache under C:\Windows\Installer and all you need is the product code... I've proved it by uninstalling a large application while disconnected from the network.
- They say there are scenarios where uninstalling an MSI requires access to the original source location.. They can't give me examples...naturally enough...
Who's right?

If the MSI uses the built-in Custom Action ResolveSource, it will require access to the source media. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371232(VS.85).aspx
