Typically though there are more occurrences after InstallFinalize because that's one of the documented options: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371197(v=vs.85).aspx which looks attractive because of those magic words "most efficient" but the kind of failure that could be happening here is somewhat obscurely described as "If the removal of the old application fails, then the installer only rolls back the uninstallation of the old application." which is an obscure way of saying you're toast.
