I could be remembering incorrectly, but I believe this was caused by
one of two conditions:
Multiple versions of the software are currently installed (the msi can
uninstall only one, I believe), or the currently installed software is
the same version and was patched (even if the patch is older than the
new package being deployed). In my experience, either of these would
cause the deployment to fail.
