title: “The feature you are trying to access…” from MSI on local drive
body: <p>This is a follow-up on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16233748/the-feature-you-are-trying-to-access-from-msi-with-simple-install-package">this question</a>, which was solved by locating the installation package on a local drive.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, it seems that on some machines, this doesn't solve it.</p>
  
  <p>I have the following log available</p>

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I can't really draw any useful information out of it, different from the first question where it was clear that the drive the installation package was run from is actually a network drive.</p>
  
  <p>In this case though, the installation resides directly under <code>C:\</code>, but somehow MSI still tries to locate something in Internet Explorers cache files, which I can't wrap my head around.</p>
  
  <p>What's happening here and how can I fix it?</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>UPDATE</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>After trying the command</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\&gt; msiexec /i myInstallation.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qb
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an error window telling me</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A network error ocurred while attempting to read from the file C:\myInstallation[1].msi</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can this happen when I'm executing (and refreshing) everything from <code>C:</code>?</p>
