I'm not sure what is going on here, but if the MSI dialog is reappearing after the product is installed, it seems that things are not installing the way you expect. Windows Installer might even be restarting to *fix* that component because the file is not on the disk. The section of the log file that might be a little more valuable is under InstallValidate (make sure the component and feature are actually scheduled for installation, not install on demand or something else), also in the FileCopy area, is the file being copied without any problems? In my experience if the UI has a problem, it will fail every time, it won't work intermittently.

So nobody sees anything wrong there? How about the BACKEND portion.
Does the squence contain anything fishy? Again, this is an
intermittent bug.
