I could reproduce it, but I doubt I can do anything about it. When it 
asked whether I want to report this to MS, I did - recently, I learned 
what the magic procedure behind this analysis is, and that there is a 
good chance that this report really ends up at the developer of 
installer responsible for the code that crashed. I'm pretty certain it 
is none of my code which causes the crash (the same rule applies as with 
Python: it may raise an exception, bring up an error message, and so on 
- but it should never crash).
