InstallUISequence = full UI. ARP runs with basic UI. Hence you should test both installation & uninstallation using basic and/or no UI (/qb or /qn parameters supplied to msiexec respectively) as well as full UI so you don't trip up in situations like this. Also most remote deployment systems (e.g.

ICE tests require access to the Windows Installer service (msiexec.exe) to run their validation of your MSI. Could it be that it's taking much longer to start up on Windows 7 or isn't available for some other reason (UAC?) for a few moments after it starts? Try monitoring your running processes in
