I've googled the "InstallValidate" and found a posting in a blog (Microsoft Installer Team Blog or something like that) which pointed me to the "Request:Absent; Action:Null". >From what I've read, the "Action:Null" means that the install engine isn't going to do anything regarding that component (in my case, the only one). Do you have any idea why it thinks the action should be Null?
