setup.exe sometimes has a little logic and other bits of code that are

requirement of Windows Installer is finally removed.

Actually, Chris, not in this case... You do need to run the LISTool to
remove the cached install files. I tried pointing the SP1 patch at the MSI
file - it just kept asking for the CAB.
