Custom component for current user

[bjkesler]

:rolleyes: I have created a mst with specific registry entries that are in HKCU. I have set it to install to each user when they launch the application. This works great except for users not connected to the network (location of the install package). The end result is the user cannot launch the program from the advertised shortcut. Is there a way to have the component install from the local machine rather than the network. It always asks for the .msi located on the on the network.

The current user component should be able to use the registry entries from the cached MSI without asking for the source. Usually a missing file causes Windows Installer to go back to the source (check out the event viewer).

Have a look at property SOURCEDIR to use alternative sources.

There is no property SOURCEDIR in Adobe's install package. Does the msi get cached automatically?
Absence of the registry key below causes the component to reinstall. Howvever it wants to go to the original msi on the network.
