So is commit b8965ee7c90a687af4c84ad0ede73b1df901e16c a bad commit? or is it a step in the right direction it just breaks some installers currently?
It's a step in the right direction. Before that commit office 2007 service pack 1 and other installers would fail because of custom actions with conflicting demands for COM initialization.
FWIW, I think an improved version of Dan's patch would be acceptable, after testing with some more installers. MS installers are good candidates since they seem to consistently check the result of CoInitialize().
