You need to turn on the installation logging on the machine that is continuously re-running the installer. Here is the registry entry you will need to create to turn the logging on. Make sure when you have finished resolving the issue that you remove this registry key or else install logging will go on forever and it greatly slows down the process of installing or uninstalling anything MSI. Just cut this text out, paste it into a text file and rename it with a .reg extension. Then double click on it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"Logging"="voicewarmup"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will create a .log file with the filename format of MSI?????.log in the currently logged on users TEMP directory. It contains boat loads of information both useful and useless, "at least to me!". It should help you figure out what files are getting overwritten and replaced everytime.
Good Luck
