In WiX 3.10.2 and later, you're going to have problems the bundle like that.  You're getting ACCESS DENIED.

Hi Experts,
I'm delivering 3 msi packages in my Managed Bootstrapper (MBA). User is given choice to select which packages he/she wants to install. All goes well. When user tries to Modify the installation from Control Panel, selects new package from dialog and original source (MBA.exe) is missing, installation failed with following log:

[553C:0A88][2016-03-30T16:00:54]w341: Prompt for source of container:
WixAttachedContainer, path: D:\work\MBA.Install.Bundle\bin\Debug\MBA.exe
[553C:0A88][2016-03-30T16:00:54]e054: Failed to resolve source for file:
D:\work\MBA.Install.Bundle\bin\Debug\MBA.exe, error: 0x80070002.

error: 0x80070002.
[553C:0A88][2016-03-30T16:00:54]i000: CachePackageComplete:

[553C:3C24][2016-03-30T16:00:54]e000: Error 0x80070002: Failed while caching, aborting execution.

I've tried to capture this in ResolveSource event handler. e.LocalSource and e.DownloadSource are readonly properties. There is not criteria to download missing file, all needs to be present locally.

I read about the Propmpt to get the Source of original installer here:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/heaths/2007/10/25/resolvesource-requires-source/

but this is about msi installer, while in my MBA, this dialog is suppressed.

How can I take set the LocalSource manually (may be by taking input via dialog from user)?
Can I set WixAttachedContainer to some other working path at runtime but taking input from user?

Thanks a bunch...
