[IronPython] I can't install the MSI for IP2.6 RC1

Hey. Thanks for the responses Dino.

This is Windows XP. I was running as a domain user which does have 
administrative privs.

I just tried running msiexec as THE local Administrator user. Same 
behaviour, and the only diffs to the logfile are timestamps and user ID.
