Found this to be rather interesting, regarding MSI:

That is rather, err.. very old. I was pretty sure MSI installer was working recently (at least a few months ago), but trying it just now, it seems to be broken again. So this would appear to be a regression somewhere.

Well I could do the regression testing. Do you have a download url to recomend?

Ahh, I found at least part of the problem. I had recently started making my default Windows version to be "nt40", because many programs I use insist on it. This setting breaks the version of InstMsi that I had. Changing the Windows version to win98 fixed things.

That was not immediately abvious because although the MSI installer throws up a dialog, there was only garbage text in it. However, the relay trace was rather small and revealed:

0009:Call kernel32.OutputDebugStringA(004022e4 "ANSI version of the Windows installer is not supported on Microsoft Windows NT.\n") ret=00401085

So I guess the main bug is why didn't that show up in the dialog. Anyway, I think I got the MSI installer off the Microsoft website somewhere.
