In my experience, this error is occured when .msi file has limited permission.
For example, copying the file by cygwin's cp command makes such a situation.
Check the file permission in detail dialog from security tab of file's
property dialog.
If the use 'SYSTEM' does not have read permission, you'll got the error.
