The most common cause of this error is Administrative Rights issues. Another Few Possible Reasons Are

On Windows XP, there is a known issue with the Microsoft Windows Installer Service that affects all MSI-based setups. This error results when an MSI-based setup is run from a virtual drive created via the 'subst' command.

Registry entries point to drive(s) that have been created with the "subst" command.

Permissions on the <WINDOWSFOLDER>\Installer folder are insufficient

An older version of InstallShield Developer is being used.

The file msiexec.exe is not registered properly

An older version of the MSI engine has been installed from a network drive that is no longer available.

There are insufficient privileges in Windows.

Another instance of the file "msiexec.exe" is running

Another MSI-based setup is running simultaneously

The default value of the Windows Documents & Settings folder has been changed to a different drive letter that doesn't exist.

The main drive letter (usually C: ) does not have a System account on it.

Hope this might be of help to you

Got it working... on 1 pc.

On the other, I keep getting a spinning disk, and then nothing! I am using a copied disk for that version though and Enhancement pack III (which supposedly fixes the spinning disk problem) won't install (It doesnt recognise CM4)
