GTA: San Andreas Installation Problems

I recently bought GTA: San Andreas for PC and began installing it when a windows explorer error occurred around halfway through installation causing windows to restart. Now when I insert the game it gives me the option to 'Play' which when clicked brings up a quick Demo Shield icon and then nothing (since it's obviously not fully isntalled). When I try to 'Uninstall' I receive the following error message:

Setup has experienced an error.

Please do the following:
-Close and running programs
-Empty your temporary folder
-Check your internet connection [Internet-based setups]

Then try to run setup again.
Error Code: -6003


Well obviously I did everything it told me to do, I also have Vice City downloaded on my PC, but it appears that GTA San Andreas doesn't show up under Program Files, only under the Start menu. I was instructed on another tech forum to download Ccleaner and clean out my registry and all that to try and get all the extra files deleted so I could do a clean install. So I deleted the GTA: San Andreas link under the start menu, then I ran Ccleaner, deleted/fixed everything it found and i'm still getting the same problem with the same error message. I've deleted my Temp folder and all that good stuff too. Any help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. Here are my system specs:

Re: GTA: San Andreas Installation Problems

Have you tried doing a setup from the dvd?
It worked for once with oblivion after some files had gone missing..
