Try using MSI Cleanup (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301) from Microsoft to remove any leftovers of a previous unsuccessful installation.

I've had this happen on two occasions, first was when I had Nero ImageDrive active, and secondly was with the latest version of the NVidia Display drivers version 177.83. These display drivers install the Physx driver as well - version 8.08.01.

In the first case with Nero I would check whether you have a drive image mapped using ImageDrive, and then temporarily disable it.

In the second case the Physx driver was causing the conflict. Uninstall the driver from add/remove programs, then install eset security suite. Once this is done you can reinstall the physx driver on its own from the installer placed in C:\NVIDIA\win2k\177.83\IS\Physx_8.08.01_SystemSoftware.exe

If you have any games installed, some of these can also install the physx driver.

If this is not applicable to you - then if you have only recently started having installation issues think carefully about what software you have recently installed in particular relating to any new drivers etc that may have come with them.

Hope that is of some help.

did you ever get the install to work? If so, how did you resolve it.
