Hi Paul,

That was a "full" eSDK. I noticed that the "same" eSDK installer from
another build host was not affected and I'm trying to rebuild on the
original one with even more recent revision and see if it still happens or
not. Failure with the first one was repeatable, hence I suspect an issue at
sdk population stage, not during installation.
