Sounds like 3rd party software (AV, etc) or incomplete/corrupt installation source.
I'd run through this checklist mentioned at the beginning of this thread to see if it's either of those: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/60f71a54-506e-4c70-be98-e993ce6d1ddf/
Then, if it still isn't working, try the uninstall and registry cleanup steps that worked a few posts down and attempt to install again.
