Yes, now it's windowscodecs that fails to load when the dialog code tries to
fetch the splash screen bitmap. Starting the installer with 64-bit msiexec
works around the problem.

This suggests restarting msiexec 64-bit as a solution, but it doesn't cover
installers that call MsiInstallProduct directly. We could continue down the
path of making sure the necessary dlls are loaded up front, but maybe it's
better to turn this upside down and disable fs redirection only for the
sections where it's absolutely needed. That way it's easier to guarantee that
we don't need to load any dlls.
