No idea. I would look for code that only runs in those cases and see what I
can find. It's not always very obvious (as in the case of ATL).
I don't know if the MSI team has any tools to help you out there. You could
set up IFEO (Image File Execution Options) on msiexec.exe and debug until you
hit an NX/DEP issue. Setting up the debugging can be gnarly depending on your
tool because session 0 UI is isolated on windows vista. I use windbg myself
and start a remote debug server that I then access from a non-session 0
location.
Look for service debugging tips for whatever your favorite debugger is.

Is there a reason why it only happens when I relaunch the msi after a force
reboot?

Certain versions of ATL can do this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention It's a general issue
though. Executing code on the stack, self-modifying code, etc. can cause this.
But I think ATL that shipped with vc6 is the most common cause.

Execution Prevention on Vista?
Hi all,
When I restart an installation after a force reboot, in the "Validating
Install" phase, I get the error "Windows Installer has stopped working" and a
systray bubble saying the installer was closed due to Data Execution Prevention.
I only get the error when I relaunch the msi after a failed installation on
Vista
What makes a custom action DEP incompatible?
Thanks,
Shirley
