    Faced exactly the same problem. There is a KB article around (do not have the RefNo at hand).
    But the problem arises when the Temp folder of the user you are running the setup under has blanks in it, e.g. "c:\Dccuments and Settings\Administrator\er\Temp\"
    The KB article gives some details about resolving the problem.
