    Click Start, programs, accessories, system tools, and then click Disk Cleanup and check ALL the boxes displayed (may take a couple min's).

    Click on the Start button.
    Click Run.
    Type temp into the available text field and click OK.
    Click on one of the files in the folder that just opened, and press Ctrl and A to select all of the files in this folder.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    When prompted if you are sure, choose Yes to All.

    Next you will need to delete your specific logins temporary files:

    Click on the Start button.
    Click Run.

    Type C:\Documents and Settings\<Insert login name here>\Local Settings\Temp in the available text field and click OK.

    Note : Be sure to specify your Windows login without the greater than/less than symbols, in the bolded area above.
    Click on one of the files in the folder that just opened, and press Ctrl and A to select all of the files in this folder.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard. You may get a warning about the Perflib file if it isn't 'hidden' as it is in use - say OK. Then change its' properties to hidden and do this again.


    When prompted if you are sure, choose Yes to All.

    Empty your Recycle Bin

    Now, defrag your computer.

    Reboot and try the install again.
