What is the difference between ADDSOURCE and ADDLOCAL property?
I know, these both the properties are used for selected features installation, but i get confused with the terms local and source...
*ADDLOCAL: Installation of features from software from local *ADDSOURCE: Installation of features from source,
Please explain with example/scenario
*ADDLOCAL: Installation of features from software from local *ADDSOURCE: Installation of features from source,

I think,
for e.g. If u install microsoft office 2003 with ADDLOCAL property, then after installation whenever we have to change it's features, or repair, or advertisement it refers local source copy.
And if u install microsoft office 2003 with ADDSOURCE property, then after installation whenever we have to change it's features, or repair, or advertisement it refers network source copy. I am not sure...

Not quite. MSDN says (clearly enough to me, but...):
ADDSOURCE PropertyIt's the difference between selecting 'Run from local hard drive' or 'Run from source' when selecting features in the UI. ADDLOCAL causes the files to be installed locally, ADDSOURCE causes them to be run from the source media.
The value of the ADDSOURCE property is a list of features that are delimited by commas, and are to be installed to run from the source.

so that the conversation will remain readable.
