I found that there was a registry entry that was giving me grief with the install, and here are the instructions that I used to fix the problem.

1. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations 

2. Back up the registry key
3. Delete the registry key
4. Install the software without restarting the computer first (Restarting the computer may result in the registry key being placed back in the registry before installation.)
5. Restore the registry key from the backup location.

NOTE: If you are running Windows Vista look for this key – HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet001\Control\SessionManager\PendingFi
