Not the OP, but I have this issue too. I had previously uninstalled it from my computer (and ran the official uninstaller program), but when I try to reinstall now that I need it again, the installer reaches 5% and then throws the error you see above. No matter how many times I run the uninstaller, delete the now-empty file directories to clear out any loose ends, and attempt reinstalling (including redownloaded installers), the same result happens.
