I have problem with unistallation the program, when source msi file is not located in a folder from where it was launched before. e.g. I install the program, I delete msi file, and when afterwards I try to uninstall program from add/remove, it writes me, that it could'nt find source msi file. Can anyone help me?
You may want to create a verbose log of the uninstall to determine why Windows Installer is trying to access the source media. The log can be created with the following command line: msiexec.exe /x {ProductCode} /l*v "C:\PathToLog\Uninstall.log"
I realize this is an old post. But maybe someone else will have the problem and read this.
To make a long story short, I had this problem because the ResolveSource action was engaging during uninstall. The standard default condition ( "Not Installed And Not PATCH") was missing because I had to add the action back in.
The long of the story is that we NEED the action to engage during Minor Upgrade (IS_MINOR_UPGRADE) because we copy licenses over from the installer media to the installation. If we ship a new license with a minor upgrade, it has to copy over. So "Not Installed" will not work as a condition for us. But removing the condition completely won't either, since it causes Resolve Source to engage during uninstall, which it should not need to do.
