I have tracked down what's going on using Process Monitor. MsiExec is
shooting itself in the foot using RunOnce. Here's what happens ...
MsiExec creates a folder with a random 7-digit decimal number name ...
C:\Windows\WinSxS\InstallTemp\5755208
... adds a registry entry ...
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\WinSideBySideSetu
pCleanup 5755208
... and extracts all of the Win32 shared SxS assembly's files (.cat,
.manifest, .dll's) to this folder.
MsiExec spawns copies of itself using "-Embedding", one of which
installs the driver. After installing the driver this spawned MsiExec
process spawns runonce.exe which scans the registry and spawns
rundll32.exe with the command line ...
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll23.exe"
sxs.dll,SxspRunDllDeleteDirectory C:\Windows\WinSxS\InstallTemp\57552078
... which successfully smokes everything the original MsiExec process
extracted. Shortly after this the original MsiExec process creates
another InstallTemp folder ...
C:\Windows\WinSxS\InstallTemp\5920167\Manifests
... and attempts to open the manifest file that it extracted to the
first temp folder ...
C:\Windows\WinSxS\InstallTemp\5755208\DigitalRapids.Hardware.API.manifes
t
... which returns PATH_NOT_FOUND (0x80070003) and everything to come to
a grinding halt.
If anyone has any suggestions for a workaround or knows of any obscure
requirements or procedures related to Win32 shared SxS assemblies I
would very much appreciate hearing from you.
If anyone has a Microsoft contact that can/will help I would very much
appreciate it if this information was forwarded to them.
Cheers,
Steve

This is the dreaded 1935 assembly install error. Have you got an AV app
running? Aaron Stebner's blog has a lot of entries on possibilities for
this, but AV seems more likely in your case.

Thanks Phil,
Sorry, when I said "the app" I meant the app and VC9 merge modules
(i.e. 1+2+3 works, 1+2+4 works, 1+2+3+4 fails).
There are no runtime dependencies, the installed sxs assembly is not
used by any custom action. I'm currently testing on XP SP3.
The error occurs in InstallFinalize. A few lines after the error in the
log ...
>> Action ended 23:30:10: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
When I compare the log for a successful install of the assembly (1+2+3)
to the log for a failed install (1+2+3+4) it looks like the assembly is
installed in both cases but then this path-not-found failure pops out of
nowhere and everything rolls back.

VC 9.0 merge modules and SxS assemblies (VC 9.0 merge modules install in
WinSxS too) are not available to custom action code on Vista and later
because they're not really available until InstallFinalize and commit.
You haven't said if there are run-time dependencies, and I don't know if
the app and the assembly means 1, 2, and 3, but I think it does. What's
happening when that error occurs? What action is it doing?

Subject: [WiX-users] MSI error 1935 (0x80070003) installing shared Win32
assembly - but only when installer includes DifxApp driver component
I'm using WiX 3.0.5419.0 to generate an MSI that installs ...
1) an MFC app
2) the required VC9 merge modules
3) a Win32 shared SxS assembly
4) a DifxApp driver package.
I can build an installer that will successfully install and uninstall
the app and the driver I can build an installer that will successfully
install and uninstall the app and the assembly.
However, when both the assembly and the driver are included the
installer fails shortly after the driver update completes and rolls
back.
>> MSI (s) (60:80) [23:30:06:551]: Assembly Error:The system cannot find

I have MSI logs and source... If this sounds like something you might
know about let me know what you'd like to see, I'd really appreciate the
help.
Cheers,
Steve
