   The error simply means that the application in question called =
abort() directly or indirectly.  There is an ambiguity in the message.  =
The title is the name of the EXE in the process containing the C = runtime.
 It may not be the caller of abort().  In other words, this may = not be a
problem with MSIEXEC but instead with the component being = installed. 
Then again, it might be MSIEXEC but if you installed the = latest release
of 3.1 I would expect it to be this.  It could be = something weird like
geo suggested with a far future date that causes = some CRT functions to
appropriately call abort().
