I found that accessing the timestamp servers was more reliable when using the actual IP address for the timestamp server (i.e. a.b.c.d notation) rather than the hostname. Doing so eliminates DNS failures and resulted in far fewer build failures in my case (I sign a lot of components, not just the installer).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bundle signing One other failure to watch out for when signing is that the timestamp servers are not 100% reliable, I have a retry for those failures as well.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bundle signing Insignia does work with cabinet files and such. Virus checkers love to peek into cabinets and that can often delay processing after the initiating executable (insignia) is gone. I often disable virus checking from my build folders to minimize these sorts of issues.
