Whidbey setup project race condition

Whidbey appears to suffer from an unhandled race condition when you “simultaneously” re-build a Windows Forms setup project and use the Add or Remove Programs control panel to remove the previously installed version.

Sometimes the build will fail with a missing file error in the installation folder. Sometimes the application will fail with an unregistered dependency.
