<Error Message> when running Windows Installer created Setup.exe?

Can someone tell me how to debug a Windows Install problem?

I've created the installer project from home PC, transfered the installer
project to my work PC, build the project on my work PC, but now when I run
the Setup.exe it immediate generates a small dialog box with the following:

<Error Message>

Only option is to press Ok button which brings me to my Installation
Incomplete dialog where Close is the only option.

What the hell is going on here and how the heck can even start to debug a
Installer problem like this?? And why does the same install project work
perfectly on my home PC but not my work PC? There are NO errors during the
Installer build process -- so I'm at a total loss?? Any suggestions?
