I guess that many developers have a MSDN subscription. Therefore it should be mentioned that your subscription includes a number of free support incidents (the number depends on your subscription level). In addition, the microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi newsgroup is a "managed newsgroup", which means that registered MSDN subscribers are guaranteed to receive an answer within two business days. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/ for the procedure.
