Leaving the MSI for repair

Hi... Sometimes, the MSI needs to be repaired. However, it seems that PDQ Deploy drops the msi off for install, then deletes the msi when it's completed.

Is there a way to set the temp repository location and flag whether or not to delete the msi after install?

We've got that in the works. For now it can be worked around by using a batch file which does the copy for you. It's a bit of extra work, but it's only needed for those installers that require the full MSI file for repairs.

Example batch file:
```
set setuppath=%windir%\downloaded installations\company\product
mkdir "%setuppath%"
copy setup.msi "%setuppath%\setup.msi"
msiexec /i "%setuppath%\setup.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /q /norestart
```
