Windows Installer Errors--Are any considered Normal?

During the install of a msi using a transform, I see these in the log files:

Note: 1: 2318
Note: 1: 2360
Note: 1: 1312
Note: 1: 2262 2: ModuleComponents 3: -2147287038
Note: 1: 2203
Note: 1: 2205

There are many multiple instances of these in the log files, especially the 2262 with the -2147287038 at the end.

The program does install, however many of the issues that this version touts to resolve, are not resolved after the install.

Are these "Notes" considered normal?

I can post clips of actual log files here if necessary...

Aslong as your msi is installing without rolling back or exiting or no warning in event viewer, I dont think you need to worry about this log.

A brush-up on your decimal-to-hex maths (which, of course, I can do in my head...) reveals that your error is FFFFFFFF80030002. Ditch the leading Fs as always and were left with 80030002. In DOS, error 2 means "File not found".

The ModuleComponents table is a list of the components of a merge module. One or more components is missing.

-------Ok, this is for an install of Pointsec using a transform. Pointsec specifically states that they do not support the use of the transform. The install runs and excrypts the device, however most of the issues that this version corrects are still a problem on the devices using the transform. When the msi runs without the transform, the issues are not seen. I am being told that all these Windows Installer items in the verbose logging can be ignored, but I need to verify this, since to me it looks like specific components are not getting installed.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,
so that the conversation will remain readable.
