If one runs the MSI validation suite (Tools:Validate in Orca) on the OOo MSI
installer, it reports lots of errors and warnings. I don't know how serious
those errors and warnings actually are, after all the installer as such works
very well. 

But I suspect that problems I have when using MSI patching could be caused by
some of the problems that the validation suite reports. I am not sure, though...
Windows Installer is an over-engineered disaster, its documentation vague and
misleading, and msiexec's log files very unhelpful.

I will attach the validation report produced for the MSI installer included in
the official OOo_2.4.1_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe.
