This is my first post here. I have some queries related to MSI uninstallation.
Is the source MSI always required during MSI uninstallation? My understanding was, it is not required since the MSI is always cached on the machine where you install it and all data stored in Binary table and accessed in the custom actions is also present in this cached MSI.
In my MSI, all the components and features are designed to Install Local. My MSI is a thick MSI ie. cabs inside. Last few lines of the uninstallation log, where the uninstallation gets stuck for source MSI are as below. Any idea why the source MSI is required and any tips to get rid of the source MSI? I have also attached the uninstall log till the point of error.
