A faulty hard drive. Vista doesn't fail installations.

OK, Here is a could work solution, saved me problems installing before, Hold down Windows Key + R, In the run box type %APPDATA%, rename the "InstallShield Installation Information" folder to "InstallShield Installation Information 2" and then try re-running setup, I've noticed in the past installers can get corrupted in this folder and mess everything up...

Similar to what yoyo said.
Try renaming
C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield
to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield1
It will create a new dir during your next install attempt.

Perhaps UAC is blocking file copying if it's installed into any of the restricted folders, that is assuming you haven't disabled it.
