I do not have your answer. But I do recall something that seems
it may be related: back when service pack 1 for Visual Studio
2005 released it would fail to install and MS posted directions
for a work-around for the failure to verify signature of the MSI
due to the large size of the MSI (basically disabling the required
verification for administrators was the work-around).
The release notes for the SP point to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925336/en-us
which basically says that there has to be sufficient contiguous
memory and which says this is W2k3 SP1 (which usually also
means W2k3 R2 gold) specific.
So, perhaps you should follow up with msi related KBs (?)
Just how to turn from verification of signing to the act of signing
and get at info on this is an open question for me however.
