No, it is not a good user experience. Using DetectCondition should provide a more typical experience.

Subject: Re: [wix-users] Failed to resolve source for file: error

Is it a good user experience to prompt user to supply the installation path while uninstalling...suppose I installed A.exe and upgraded to B.exe. I may or may not save the setup file.Since B.exe is installed I won't care about the installation file. After few days if I need to uninstall the application how is it possible to provide installer path. It may have been lost. It should have automatically cached in program cache...so how can I provide source path in this case.

If you know where the file is, set the location to it locally with SetLocalSource or on the web using SetDownloadSource.
If you don't know the path then prompt the user to supply one and then use SetLocalSource.
