Nice work!!! With this patch applied it seems the summary information is okay,
and the installer on Windows does not complain any longer about the produced
package not being an msi-package.

Indeed, there still seems to be something wrong, probably with the contents of
the tables in the msi package.

I have created a new product.msi package with the above patch applied with the
builtin msi.dll. When I look at this package with Orca on Linux/Wine, it looks
good (see screenshot-1), but when I look at it with Orca on WindowsXP, the
contents of the tables looks corrupted (see screenshot-2). With Orca on
Linux/Wine+native msi.dll I see the same result as on Windows XP.

This leads me to the conclusion that both reading and writing of the tables is
wrong on Wine. (Disclaimer: As I really have no clue on how wine works, feel
free to question any conclusion of mine).
