Hello,
I'm finally frustrated enough to create an account and post my issues! I am new to installers so bear with me.
Our environment:
We use IS2011 Pro and Team City for automation on a Windows Server 2003 dev server. We had IS2011 with Hotfix A installed at one point, but after reinstalling IS2011 (troubleshooting), the "update" option gives a script error and fails to offer updates.
Situation:
We've had builds running for a long time in this environment, until a few months ago. We started getting an assortment of errors which were not consistent. I would expect running a build to be deterministic, but we get different results every time a build is run. (without making changes in-between builds)
Current Problem:
If I run the installer build over and over, we currently get Fatal Error: 0 75% of the time, and 25% the build succeeds. (using ISCmdBld.exe)
This occurs when trying to open the .msi file.
Excerpt from the log file:

Note: the .msi file exists in the specified location and I'm able to double click it and open it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
