Preventing an MSI being cached at c:\windows\installer

My understanding is that when I run an MSI, it gets cached to c:
\windows\installer. For security reasons I want to tell msiexec.exe to
cache the msi in a separate folder. Is this possible? Thanks.

I don't think this is possible, but I'd like to understand your security
concerns. Can you describe what you want to achieve by caching the msi file
in a different directory?
