This might be just MSI behavior, which is to create that random MSI file name in the temp folder and use that for the install. If you monitor the temp folder I suspect you'd see that random MSI file name there, and I believe it's what gets copied to the cached location in Windows\installer.

When I install a signed MSI file on Vista, I get a UAC elevation prompt just before it starts the scripted section. The prompt shows the proper signature (a certificate we purchased from Verisign), but the name of the MSI file shown on the prompt window is not the actual MSI file being installed. Instead the MSI file name contains what appears to be a random series of letters and numbers. When I install the very same MSI file but without the signature, then the same UAC elevation prompt appears, and it says "Unverified publisher" as expected. But the name of the MSI file is the correct name -- no letters and numbers this time. Can anybody explain why it doesn't show the proper MSI file name on the UAC elevation prompt for a signed installation? Is there some way to fix this?
