[wix-users] bundle install problems: apache tomcat

[Douglas, Keith (STATCAN)]

I have a bundle which is designed to install Tomcat (a bootstrapped installer in its own right) and 8 of our packages to go with it.
On my testing VM and one of our actual Windows 10 testing devices, this works well and creates no problem. The use is routine, default bootstrapping engine, using /S for a silent install of Tomcat, etc. which works well enough since we have another MSI in the bundle to do some post-install configuration.

On another machine, for some reason the install fails because the package caching step does not seem to complete correctly. And yet removing from the package cache seems to work at that stage, after it fails to use the item.

Relevant parts of the log on the failed machine, as far as I can tell, are (Id0 being the Tomcat .exe, as expected):

Any thoughts? What would do this?
