Can someone tell me why patching a uncompressed image requires the attempt
to look for source? I am not prompted asking for credentials, but the
patch log shows it keeps looking for the original install location like
this:

... and it seems to loop for hours.
The cached MSI is on the machine as isn't missing. I've read some other
posts where this was the case.
I see the Resolve source text, but I don't have the ResolveSource action in
my MSI. It continues to look with this same text until some time it
decides to proceed with applying the patch. It could take a few hours or a
day and it finally applies successfully.
To give some background, I am installing an uncompressed image (I built it
uncompressed and it's not an administrative installation uncompress image)
from a UNC path (mapped drive doesn't matter either). I've then
disconnected from that source (rebooted to make sure it can't connect).
I've then created 2 patches. Lets just say patch 1 and patch 2. My first
patch applies in less than 5 minutes. My second patch is what has this
problem. If I leave it connected to the original source location, the
second patch applies in under five minutes as well.
If I create the same install image but have a compressed image (all files
are in an external cab file), then disconnect from source and apply patches
1 and 2 (which were rebuilt with the compressed image build), it never
loops like the patch log above. The second patch applies in under 5
minutes.
Is this normal behavior? It seems like the installer either needs to
prompt me for credentials to original source or move on and apply my patch.
Taking hours to apply the patch is not acceptable. I am baffled by this
behavior.
