This test checks for expected links in Product.wxs file, but then invokes the links to see if they are alive. Many times they are not and there is a retry loop. In this case WMF 4.0 link is not working. Don't know if the link was pulled on purpose.

However, this does not seem like a good test for PowerShell, as PowerShell has nothing to do whether these links work and if they don't should not cause PowerShell build to fail. I will mark the link invocation test as 'pending'.
