Re: [WiX-users] Strange log message and bad user experience - can't remove rbf file?
I assume that some file(s) that you are removing or upgrading don't extend Full Control to the account named SYSTEM, which is actually a requirement of Windows Installer (and is the default of every single file and folder in a fresh install of the operating system). It's possible that if the file was in use when it was moved that it was moved preserving the rights it had in the installation folder to not crash whatever process was still using it. Look closely at the file permissions of the files you will be changing/removing to see if there is some file that MSI will have trouble with.

This is happening a lot now with a different installer.

Re: [WiX-users] Strange log message and bad user experience - can't remove rbf file?
The Config.msi Folder is a Hidden System Folder that is created by Windows. Only SYSTEM, and the Administrators Group should Be in the Security Tab list, each having Full Access. If the Admin Remoting in is not a member of the Administrators Group, you may have issues. By Default a local Admin will be in the Administrators Group, unless Group Policy dictates otherwise.

Re: [WiX-users] Strange log message and bad user experience - can't remove rbf file?
Those are the rollback files for the Windows Installer. Error message is telling you that something happened between the time that Windows Installer could access the files to the time that it could no longer access the files. I like to blame this stuff on anti-virus but that's not always the case.
