Here's the log file from the failed install. This looks like it could be file
corruption error, unless someone else can tell me otherwise?

It's hard to say the exact circumstances. The .msi is downloaded from our
website, and I don't have access to the client's computer.
The client that last reported this problem has his AV scanner disabled. I'll
ask him if he's running it from a network share.
What are the circumstances when it fails?
Perhaps there is another process locking the file open?
I have seen this error occasionally when I try to open a package that is on a
network share with orca.
I presume that there is an AV scanner running on the server locking the file
open.
I have a .msi I've created using Wix that seems to work on a lot of computers.
However, I occasionally have reports of of clients running the .msi on their
computer and getting this error message:
"This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor
to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
Does anyone know how I can recreate this image, and what I could possibly be
doing wrong in my .wxs file? This error happens with both 2.0 and 3.0 versions
of Wix.
