[WiX-users] Why Does Bundle Prompt For Source During Uninstall?

[Edwin Castro]

I have a bundle that I have successfully installed. When I try to uninstall
I get the following:

[0E54:03D0][2015-07-13T15:34:03]i300: Apply begin

I checked C:\ProgramData\Package Cache to make sure my bundle was still
cached (it was).

Under what circumstances does the burn engine try to resolve the original
bundle location?

I was under the impression that the bundle was cached at
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache to avoid needing the original source to be
available.

The attached container is stripped (to save [often signification] disk space). Look higher in the log to see what package is requesting to be cached during uninstall. Probably an ExePackage.
