Hello,

the "CreateShortcuts" action (dlls/msi/action.c:ACTION_CreateShortcuts)
unconditionally initializes STA which obviously fails because the installer
thread (managed worker, not main thread) already runs in MTA.

The main installer is .NET based using C# wrapper for msi API. Managed
installer worker threads that call msi interop seem to explicitly initialize
their apartment (MTA).
You need msi test case that checks if "CreateShortcuts" action explicitly
initializes COM apartment and what type of apartment is requested.

Regards
