I am confused by the return code INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT from the MsiGetComponentPath() function.
If I call MsiGetComponentPath on a normally installed component, I get INSTALLSTATE_LOCAL, which is what I would expect. However, if I delete the keyfile for the component, then MsiGetComponentPath returns INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT.
I was under the impression that INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT meant that the component was not installed in the first place (not selected to be installed at original install time), not that it was 'broken'.
Can someone explain exactly what the INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT means as a return code from MsiGetComponentPath?
