Thanks - I tried that today with no joy.  However, I've since discovered
this only seems to occur for me when running inside Virtual PC 2007 SP1.
I found a physical 2008 server, installed Windows Installer 4.5 on it
and didn't get the issue at all...  

Then I rolled back to Windows Installer 4.0 in my Virtual PC and could
install with no issues.  The plot thickens.

All these blog posts talk about the issue but with no explanation.

So my repro may be null and void unless running in VPC 2007 SP1, Windows
Server 2008 and Windows Installer 4.5.  I'm sure WiX isn't the problem
but I would like to get to the bottom of it as it seems like a
significant issue that shouldn't really exist.
