I just tried to install launcher.msi, and it seems to have done nothing.

This is on Windows XP SP3 with Python 2.7 installed. It's a corporate
build so there may be funny security limits hindering things, but I
have admin rights and normally don't have problems.

msiexec /i launcher.msi /l* launcher.log gives the following log file.
I can't see any errors in there, but all those "return code 1" entries
look odd (surely 0 is success and 1 failure as with OS commands?)
