    Hi there

    Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management then Services.

    Now In the right side of window search for "Windows Installer".

    Right click on it and select properties; In the middle of the popup box you will see Startup Type. Use the drop down arrow and select "Disabled" and click apply.

    Close everything and restart.

    After restarts go back to Windows Installer but now choose "Manual" click apply and close Computer Management.

    Now try to install your software.

    Hit back with results

    Good Luck
