Thanks for the comment nimatejic.
I tried doing that but for some reason when I try to Delete the file, Rename it, or anything else it tells me I do NOT have sufficent priviligies.
But
I DO HAVE SUFFICENT PRIVILAGES:
I am logged on as Adminstrator
and I run the install program as ADMINISTRATOR as well.
How do I work around this?
It's like my system (only in this case) is not seeing that I am an Administrator.
Thanks for your help

Thanks for that.
The process worked and the application finally installed.
However,
after I removed one .dll I had to remove another.
I removed 8 total.

Obviously, this application tries to copy it and overwrite your current file. which already exist.
You can try do the following:
- right click on your installation file and try to run it in compatibility mode, also checking the 'run as administrator' checkbox.
or
you can try to rename the file OLEAUT32.dll in C:\windows\system32 folder to OLEAUT32_OLD.dll
and then try to run the installer again.
Although, I'm not sure why this application tries to copy its version of this file, which is already part of Windows Vista.
