My first thought is that it's REALLY bad (actually, another word comes to mind...) to be actually installing a file into %TEMP%. That directory, by nature, is for temporary files. A file installed by MSI is not temporary. (plus, as was pointed out, you're installing a per-machine file into a per-user area. I'm surprised your MSI passed validation)
