Let's say you have to make an MSI that would install an executable 'abc.exe' and a folder 'xyz' having few files (any files). You can very well make such an MSI.
Now, try to install using this MSI. Definitely, it installs.
Now after installation, go to install location and delete the 'abc.exe' and instead create a folder with name 'abc.exe'.

Now try to Reinstall in repair mode. We get following message-
Error 1301: "Cannot create file abc.exe because a folder with same name exists. Try to Install on different location." This seems pretty OK

But on this screen we have an option of Ignore. Clicking on Ignore gives an error that is weird--
Error 1304: "Error while writing file \xyz\. Verify that you have access to that directory."

This is a bug. Either Ignore should not be there, or the Error 1304 should not come.

Someone from Flexera to comment!!!!!
