Hey Leela, The documentation is a bit ambiguous, however, the Media/@Source attribute does not refer to the location of your own CAB file. Instead this is refers to a column in the Windows Installer Media table<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369801.aspx>. This the column is used for patching only. So, what you are looking to do will not work.
