I have a bundle which has three EXE and 1 MSI, all third-party, and then my
MSI for a total of five packages.  This is my first bundle and it has been
installing on a Win 8 x64 test system successfully.  I install and uninstall
on this test box, rather than going back to a clean OS as I have WinDbg and
VS also installed so that I can step into the code.

I had figured out the MSI localization some time ago, but reset the VS
culture parameter to english, and removed the post build steps to embed the
mst files and sign the msi, to save time in doing test builds as I developed
the bundle.  Now I am happy with the bundle so I added those msi
localization and signing steps back into the build process, and I added
signing to the bundle for the first time.

Now the setup always fails while trying to process the first EXE package
(which is VC 2008 SP1), previously installed as permanent.  Even if I remove
VC 2008 SP1 the package fails with the same error "0x80004005 - Unspecified
Error"

In WinDbg the failure happens at:
Wix37_source\src\burn\engine\core.cpp #1339 
::GetExitCodeThread(hCacheThread, (DWORD*)&hr)
gets set to 0x80004005

Earlier a check for the cache path directory failed (as that GUID named dir
does not exist) but then I failed the figure out what it is trying to do
when it is failing.

As an experiment I rebuilt my bundle with all packages except the first one
commented out, and it still fails on that first package.  I suspect the fact
that it is marked as a 'permanent' package and the fact that I added bundle
signing is a factor in this issue.  The bundle is not installed when these
problems are happening.  Any thoughts on how I can get past this issue (or
narrow it down)?
