It's not a bug in either product. It's the Windows Installer service telling
you that there's a missing file or registry entry somewhere and it's
attempting to repair the installation. There's only one way to get it to
stop complaining. Don't press cancel. Once it completes successfully, you
should not longer have a problem.
