mpm install inputfile seems to not support "pre" downloaded files

[tfcollins]

I want to be able to install products downloaded through mpm download using the mpm install --inputfile method. Is that possible?

Hi, @tfcollins. Thanks for reaching out to us. At the moment, the MPM input files do not support installing products from a downloaded source. The only way to install the downloaded products is to specify the download folder as an input to the --source option of mpm install, as shown in the Download Products Using Input File example. We've captured this as an enhancement request.

@mw-wtripp thanks for the reply. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

This would be quite handy since plugging all the product names into mpm install (and hoping it matches what I downloaded) is a bit pain.

Anyway, I'll monitor mpm for future updates. Feel free to close if this is captured in a gek
