Hi,
I had a thought - why not try installing it with the User Account Control
off. And when you have installed it, turn the UAC back on.

Just an idea, but it may work,....Frank

I had the same problem with iTunes/QuickTime and Roxio/Sonic. Before Vista
will let you update/install a newer version of a program, all remnants of the
program must be completely removed from your system. Since the Vista
uninstall feature sometimes does a poor job at this, these remnants often
have to be removed manually. The following tutorial shows how to do this:
