Where the MSI file is copied after the installation?
.net, windows, windows-installer, windows-xp
Solution
Does it not go into `%windir%\installer\`?
Though I think that the files may get renamed. Not sure where you get the name mapping from...
This directory gets very big so I move it to an external drive. This sometimes cause uninstalls or updates to fail with a missing msi error, but this can be fixed by putting the directory back.
Problem
I have to replace it because of a bug that blocks the software uninstallation, but Windows can't find the MSI file if I use the file search utility, but I think the MSI is stored somewhere where the `Add or Remove Programs` utility can use it.
