JRE 1.4.2_10 - Access Violation in MsiExec.Exe during install on Windows NT

OS: Windows NT 4.0 Workstation SP6a with all patches applied.

Windows Installer Version: 2.0.2600.2

According to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/system-configurations.html a supported system configuration.

During silent installation of JRE 1.4.2_10 an access violation occurs in msiexec.exe. The access violation occurs while executing RegisterJavaWS custom action.

I registered WinDbg.exe as post mortem debugger and WinDbg tells me that the process is "inside" the loader lock. So it seems to me that there is a problem unloading the DLL implementing the custom action (DLLWRAP.DLL).

Installing JRE 1.4.2_09 and JRE 1.4.2_08 results in an access violation as well.

Help!
