Found the following error in jusched.log:
ERROR: -- Exec: RegisterDeploy() failed.
ERROR: Install Error: 61014


Deployment code doesn't work during installation.
jusched.log:
....
TRACE: -- Calling RegisterDeploy().

TRACE: RegisterDeploy returned: 2

INT RegisterDeploy(BOOL bInstallMode, LPCTSTR lpcszJavaHome, const InstallConfigData& configData) {

I looked at the "install" workspace, regdeploy.cpp:
RegisterDeploy().
....
    _tcscat_s(deployModule, _countof(deployModule), _T("\\bin\\deploy.dll"));

    HMODULE deployLibHandle = LoadLibrary(deployModule);

    if (deployLibHandle == NULL) {
        FreeLibrary(deployLibHandle);
        FreeLibrary(msvcrLibHandle);
        return (2);
    }
...
}

the returned value is 2, so it looks like deploy.dll is not loaded by installer.
After installing Visual Studio on the machine the problem goes away, it means something is misconfigured about runtime, the installer code needs to be checked, maybe something is wrong about installer manifest or something else.
