I tried, but it didn't do anything. I eventually resolved the issue by switching the installation process to manual.

Anybody else with Windows vista having issues, follow these instructions.

1- Start menu

2- Right click "Computer" and pick "Manage". (You need to be an administrator account to do this I believe.)

3- Click "Services and Applications

4- Click "Services"

5- Scroll down and look for "Windows Installer".

6- Right click it, select "Properties". Towards the middle of the menu it should say starter type. Click the drop down menu and choose "Manual". When you restart your computer now, you should be good to go.
