Hi,

Two things come to mind that "may" be causing this.

1. Have you tried to right click the install.exe and select Run as
Administrator?
2. You do have UAC enabled don't you?

All the best,

Is your computer system ready for Vista?

Have you tried downloading a fresh copy to make sure that your download
