It's one of those undocumented (and therefore unsupported) properties
you shouldn't be using. DATABASE is another.

Re: [WiX-users] Path to MSI?

2007-10-19 Thread Wilson, Phil 
The OriginalDatabase is sometimes a reasonable alternative, but it has
its own pitfalls too. The key issue is whether you want it in all
circumstances (uninstall, repair, modify) or only at first install. In
particular, OriginalDatabase works before any implicit ResolveSource in
the first install.

SourceDir is only correct after you call ResolveSource.

Calling ResolveSource can require that the original media be present.

This is problematic for upgrades and patching, because the source
media isn't likely to be around at those times.

What's the goal?

What problem are you trying to solve by getting the path of the MSI?
