I believe products like Microsoft Office extract the MSI to a folder and leave
it on your system to allow for changes.

Yes I realise that, but the cached package has all embedded files and
cabinets stripped out to save space. So when adding a feature to an
existing installation, the cached package does not include the needed
files and the installer prompts for the path to the original media. I
want to be able to avoid such prompts.
Best regards,
Andrew
