I think i found it!.
The culprit is COPYFLG_NOSKIP. Combining COPYFLG_NOSKIP and
CE_COPYFLG_NO_DATE_DIALOG is causing the problem.
Since CE_COPYFLG_NO_DATE_DIALOG is set the file is skipped since a newer
version exists on the device which is fine but the very fact that the file
was skipped is treated as an error since COPYFLG_NOSKIP is set and the
installation fails.
Maybe it is an illegal combination to begin with. Never had a problem until
now. Maybe MS fixed the cab installer in WM5.
