    I have generated a setup.exe and MyClient.msi using VS2008 setup program and
    packaged it in a install.exe using iexpress.

    If I run setup.exe by double clicking it works fine and installs the the
    program but when I run install.exe then I get following error,

    === Verbose logging started: 9/2/2009 2:03:11 Build type: SHIP UNICODE

    I looked for MyClient.msi in C:\Users\A\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.TMP but
    did not find it. Somehow it gets deleted during the installation as I did
    verify that it is present in the start. I am not sure why it gets deleted or
    if there is some kind of race condition present.

    Install works on XP but On Vista it consistently gives me this error. I do
    not have anti virus autoprotect ON either. I am logged on as administrator.

    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
