I can put all of the patches in to one big patch if anyone wants to test 
before the patches are committed.

Here is a list of some of the applications I tested with:
Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.01 - has some graphical glitches and requires IE 
to be installed but still installs. InstallShield.
iTunes - Has some stability problems - sometimes deadlocks (due to 
marshaling proxies?), but installs most of the time. InstallShield.
Halo - Installs fine.
Everquest - Installs fine.
Dark Ages of Camelot - Installs fine.
World of Warcraft - Installs fine.
Starcraft - Installs fine.
Wordperfect Office 12 - Installs fine. InstallShield.
CSI Dark Motives - Installs fine. InstallShield.
Google Earth - Installs fine. InstallShield.
X-Win32 LX - Installs fine. InstallShield.
Sims 2 (CD) - Leaves files open on CD so can't install.
Final Fantasy XI - Hangs during install. InstallShield.
Call of Duty - Leaves setup.exe open on CD so can't change disks.
Palm Desktop - Fails as it requires interprocess ROT. InstallShield.
Battlefield 2 - Hangs during install. InstallShield.
