CE 5.0 - Export Wizard Bug?

I've put together a BSP that builds flawlessly. Now I'm trying to use
the Export Wizard to create an installable .msi file that I can
distrubute but have hit a roadblock. I'm getting a Platform Builder
error message that says:

    "The Export Wizard could not build the .msi file. Be sure all
     files and directories that you include are valid and then run
     the Export Wizard again."

I've scaled the export task back to just the .cec file. I'm not
adding any extra files or directories.

It would be nice to have some clues about what files it thinks are
invalid or missing. The OS design I'm testing is built upon the BSP
I'm trying to export. The build system obviously thinks everything is
OK because the OS image builds without errors and works on the target
hardware. I've tried going through the .cec file line by line but
can't find anything that appears to be invalid.

What gives?
