I believe I have made some headway on this issue. I run into the same crash as
the original reporter. Doing a '+relay,+seh' I get the following:

--- snip ---
0032:Ret  msi.MsiGetFileSignatureInformationW() retval=800b0100 ret=0047bd53
0032:Call

--- snip ---

It looks like the installer is calling FormatMessageW with a message ID of:
0x800b0100 (TRUST_E_NOSIGNATURE) and expecting a string to be returned from a
resource contained in kernel32. As there is no kernel32 resource for 0x800b0100
FormatMessageW fails and returns a zero. I guess the installer doesn't handle
this situation. Anyway, I have attached a patch that adds this resource in, and
modifies the wmc tool to accept a messageid larger than 0xffff. No idea if
there are consequences for changing the maximum allowed size, or if there is a
more correct way to go about this.

With the patch applied I get past the crash and then the installer trips on:
--- snip ---
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"AppSearch" returned 1615
--- snip ---
