--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
But wouldn't it make the MSI packaging we do more brittle?

Currently we validate -> uninstall -> install -> finalize, and change would be
validate -> install -> finalize -> uninstall.

Current package sequence is good in general and has served us well--with only a
"rare" occasion that the MS Installer balks (for what ever reason) for a user. 

Isn't that good enough, just continue to _do_ the removal without an obligation
to roll back a failed install?

And to "just run the install again as Administrator" for those that error out.

We should not pretend to be a Windows only development project, nor adopt
practices geared to programs that are. We already diverge with our
Multi-language MSI (and our language strings longer than 254 characters) as in
bug 45750. Or the UI_LANGS command line flag bug 54585.
