Suite repair fails if a package is not in the cache folder
Hello,
I have an InstallShield Suite project which contains a few Executable (.exe) packages. During the installation process, packages that are already installed are not extracted into the cache folder (%localappdata%/Downloaded Installations).
This is fine, but if I then do a suite repair, it fails. I get this error in my log file: "Parcel target exe does not exist". The suite installer is trying to call the cached executable, but it does not exist.
I was expecting that, if a package is missing from the cache folder, it would be added to it automatically when necessary. Is there a way to get this behavior?
During the repair process, I found I can at least skip missing packages by checking for the cached files in the Detection Conditions. It is not ideal though.
