I feel some of the software restriction policies causing problems
I had the same problem with win2003 server stnd. Solved it by:
1. Assign as password to the local administrator account using >Control Panel>Computer Management>Local Users and Groups>Users
2.Right Click on setup.exe or whatever executable. Run as Local Administrator, give the password.
Worked well for me.

Musafeer79 Thanks for that - worked a treat
I had this problem on a Windows 2008 Web server and an MSI that one of our developers created. I tried everything i could find to try across the web and finally got it to work when I logged out of the machine with the domain admin account I'd been using and logged back in as the local administrator. It doesn't make sense to me, but there you go.
