Cannot install TI9 on NT4

I just bought True Image 9 Home to finally make backups of my old (but still very usefull) machine running NT4 SP6a.

When trying to install the software, I encounter a blocking problem.
After the "Preparing to install" dialog box on AcronisTrueImage.msi, I get a message box telling me "C00640001 : Windows Installer is not present". This is strange, because when checking the running services, there is a Windows Installer service running ... The message box asks if I want to install the needed Windows Installer. Pressing the Yes-button then shows again a "Preparing to install" dialog box, this time on instmsiw.exe.
This is followed by a "Error" dialog box telling "Wrong OS or OS version for application". Clicking the ok-button on this dialog box shows another "Error" dialog box saying "E00640003: The error was encountered while the installation. Acronis installation program encountered the error #-2147220998: "Wrong OS or OS version for application (0xFFF0) code = FFFFFFFF800401FA Tag = 0xBD28FDBD64EDB816" A possible reason might be that you do not have enough privileges. Please check the installation troubleshooting section of the product documentation." This dialog is then followed by another one telling "You cannot continue untill Windows Installer is installed." after which the installation is aborted.

Can anyone help me out here ? What do I have to do to get True Image installed on my NT4 machine ?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
