what os are you using? Win XP Pro or Win XP Home or Win Vista (which flavour?)

Please inform whether you have av and antispyware running on your system updated...

Can you run gpedit.msc?

How many users are there in your Windows?If there are more than one then install these applications in Admin user only.

There are only 2 user
admin & ranjan both have admin rights.

I solved the problem by checking each policies by running gpedit.msc.

For some strange reason windows installer options was turned off & that was preventing the installation.
Thanks all for helping & sorting out this problem.
