How are you packaging everything into the installer?

All of the installers I know of perform a checksum or hash on all of the files it will deploy. If anyone one of those files is touched after the installer was built, it will throw an error, like the one you are seeing, for security reasons. One of the files the installer wants to deploy has modified in some way between the time you made the installer and the time the installer tried to use it.
