Versions 1.20 and 1.30 fail the same way. This might be the problem (from the install log):

Action 15:47:53: PrepareDlg. 
Action start 15:47:53: PrepareDlg.
Info 2898. For WixUI_Font_Normal textstyle, the system created a 'Tahoma' font, in 0 character set, of 13 pixels height.
Info 2898. For WixUI_Font_Bigger textstyle, the system created a 'Tahoma' font, in 0 character set, of 19 pixels height.

followed by (near the end):

This seems to now work in version 1.5, but I didn't see any specific fix for it mentioned anywhere.

not sure we changed anything relevant to this, the only thing I can think of is the XP fixes in #512 but that was in 1.0.x I think.

I think the io.js stationary (png files) in the installer have a format that vista doesn't grok.
The problem doesn't appear on XP because on that platform the msi installer doesn't display any images.

Closing since reported as now working..

(If it comes up again I'll check the png thing.)
