Action Microsoft.Crm.UpdateWrapper.MspInstallAction failed

Update to Issue 5/14/09:

The reason I was encountering this build error is because the CRM 4.0 client I had installed had the KB 950088 hotfix installed on top of the CRM 4.0 client.  The Rollup1 updated won't install with this patch installed.  Once I removed the KB 950088 hotfix, I was then able to successfully apply the CRM Rollup1 successfully.  The KB 950088 is included in the rollup, so there was no need to re-apply the CRM Hotfix 950088.  Issue resolved.

----------Original Issue-------------- 

I'm attempting to run the CRM 4.0 Rollup1 and I get the following error:

Action Microsoft.Crm.UpdateWrapper.MspInstallAction failed.

This patch package could not be opened.  Verify that that patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that tis is a valid Windows Installer patch package.

I've successfully installed this same patch on another workstation with the same version of CRM, and was installed the same way.   But for this machine I can't get it to run.

?Any ideas?

    I'm having the same issue but with CRM Update Rollup 3. I've also installed this on another workstation with the same instance of CRM. I have CRM in a clustered environment with two servers that have CRM installed and point to the same database, do we need to install this update on both servers or just one?

    I was able to resolve this issue.  Cause was a hotfix was applied that was causing the Rollup1 not to install.
