Defect raised for this issue https://sourceforge.net/p/wix/bugs/3139/
Seems to be an issue in the burn engine caching code.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ExePackage Progress At this point I don't have any custom actions in the MSI files. I'm generating packages as bare bones as possible, allowing only for a change in installation path. So, while this likely a contributor to the overall affect, I believe there is something else contributing as well. Cheers.
