I have not seen this error before. Are you installing the Prerequisites,
or are you on Step #2? Have you tried clean booting the machine using
msconfig.exe?

Start > Run and type msconfig and then click Ok
Select the Services Tab
Click the Disable All button
Locate and check Windows Installer in the first column
Click Ok
Reboot when prompted
Install the product

HTH!
