Let me start by saying SW Dist is not my area of expertise. But I thought
about this before so I figured I'd chime in.
The app has to copy the MSI file to another location and set its source list
in the registry. However you could add a script to run afterwards that moves
the MSI file from the cache and updates the source list. See this KB for
more details.
