During registration of an MSI package you can optionally select either Use an administrative installation, or Perform and use an administrative installation.
This is useful, for example, if you already have a number of existing administrative installations in your environment and want to manage those using software delivery functionality without having to reinstall them or even register their source into the software library. However, you will not be able to distribute the files associated with these items to downstream domain managers or scalability servers as the source is defined as external. All procedures will refer to the original location of the administrative installation. Not even by choosing the MSI library as location for the external administrative installation, will you be able to distribute the files associated with the item to downstream scalability servers. The only supported way of distributing source as part of the item to downstream servers is if it is truly registered or embedded into the Software Package Library.
