Sounds good to me.  Just as an FYI, there are a couple folks taking a
look at the system and trying to figure out what's going on.  We've seen
an Event ID 1530 error in the Windows Event log associated with
vctip.exe which Visual Studio was running with the build, but only
sometimes.  When vctip.exe is being run and then finishes, it goes and
cleans things up which seems to be what's triggering the 1530 and that
appears to correllate with the failures, but hard to say if that's
really a smoking gun or is just coincidence.

Thanks!

Stephen
