1) I should have mentioned this before, but I hope that isn't the real password you've shown in the commented authoring. You may want to consider setting the password to a property value like "MYCERTPASSWORD", which can be set on the commandline at install-time. That way the cert password isn't hardcoded in the .msi (but it will require that property to be set on the commandline in order for the MSI to install). 2) Go ahead and file a bug on SF to investigate. One thing to clarify in the bug - when you say the install "fails every time after", are you referring to a repair scenario, or "uninstall" then "install"? Also, if you have a repro sample (with logs) using a dummy cert, that will help the investigation.
