About every MSI installation has such errors.

Does it come from the time when the log said:

MSI (s) (14:E4) [14:47:25:031]: Product: WPKG -- Installation completed
successfully.

That would be weird: log file says it was a success, Event Log says it 
was a failure.

UAC & friends?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with Vista, but I know there are people on this 
list using WPKG Client with Vista successfully.
