So I *finally* find myself at a page called "Where is the Forum For…?" (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whatforum/threads) designed to help you find where to go for help.
All the answers about Windows Installer questions just point at the now defunct newsgroups or the MSDN forums. So I tried to ask a new question. "Unexpected Error". Great. Cheers. Rob, could you possibly ask the Windows Installer team if there's a way for us mere mortals outside of Microsoft to contact them? If you can find out where they expect to receive their public support questions from (specifically) I'll try going there.
