Hmm. Must be a big that we missed before shipping. Would you mind opening a bug and providing as much information as possible. The MSI that reproduces the problem would be ideal (although I appreciate it might not be possible to send along).
Also, I hope there is a stack trace dumped with that error message. That stack trace will be useful. If it isn't dumped, could you maybe attach a debugger to dark.exe when it runs and copy the stack trace out of Visual Studio?
