I'm using group policy/active directory to deploy an MSI. I created a very simple test msi that simply places a text file on the C drive. I notice that when I tell the installer to not register itself with windows add/remove programs control panel (by checking the box on the Product Details screen that says "Do not register the product with Windows Installer", then an error occurs when I try to deploy it.
I have turned logging on and here is the output:
=== Verbose logging started: 12/8/2008 13:13:19 Build type: SHIP UNICODE 3.01.

The installation failed with the eventlog stating:
"Fatal error during installation."
Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?
Thanks,
