nizj,

I remember similar problems have been reported about the msi on removable media.
Oh, here we go:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded/browse_frm/thread/41be94593fafa58d/be5e18f557acae72#be5e18f557acae72

I don't recall any fixes from Microsoft regarding the issue.
