When deploying, why is the .CAB file that stores the application deleting
after the installation? Is there a way one can keep this file in his
original location on the device upon installation?

Thanks,

Make the CAB file readonly. Might sound like a strange solution but I saw
this way recommended.

If you set the Read-Only attribute of the file true then the file will not
be deleted upon install.
This default behaviour is based on the fact that storage space on the device
is at a premium and people are unlikely to need the installer on the device
once the application is installed.
