Any particular error you get when trying to install a MSI package?

nope just that it failed (in one form or another)
it does die when it when "registering/publishing the product"

I'd first reinstall the newest version of MSI (3.1), and if this doesn't help, I'd try this one probably (depending on more info):

PS: What OS are you using? Could be a security issue as well.
