The end user looked at the Package Cache and all sub folders and files. The package cache folder and all subfolders did not have the "Encrypt contents to secure data" checkbox checked; but there was one MSI file still in the cache and it was checked for that file. The installer installs three MSIs but other were removed on rollback I guess.
I also tried on my windows ultimate desktop. - I don't encrypt files by default but I manually encrypted the Package cache (applied to all subfolders) and ran burn package but it was successful. - I had to encrypt individual MSI files as burn put then to cache to get it to fail. - Once I got it to fail I then unencrypted the Package Cache folder and selected yes for all subfolders/files. Then install still failed. - Turns out that same MSI file was still encrypted so I have to unencrypted that file. I will have to try to repeat this.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files in Package Cache being encyrpted Yes, MSI has issues with encrypted drives. I thought Burn tried to un-encrypt the PackageCache to avoid this problem. Maybe the encryption bit is being inherited so it gets reapplied when the permissions are propagated.
