Yes, but it was not necessarily launched as "msiexec". If the file was
just double-clicked on, the path to msiexec will be fetched from the
registry and not the system PATH. That's the only explanation I can find.

That gives a different error message - it starts msiexec and then
msiexec is the one that complains. This error indicates that it can't
even find msiexec.exe to run.
