MSI Support for Moving or Roaming Targets

When a computer roams or moves, MSI-based applications may lose the network install image location. Access to this install image is crucial for “advertised” products and products using "self healing" and "install on demand."

An MSI based product contains a SOURCELIST in the Registry where multiple source paths may be specified. This source list is updated whenever a roam or move is detected, and an installed product is found in MSILIB on the new scalability server. The update is controlled by the software delivery agent policy "MSI source update".
