Try this.
1. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories.
2. Right-click on Command Prompt and select "Run As Administrator".
3. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command exactly as it appears below (including all spaces and quotation marks, and press Enter)
icacls "c:\ProgramData" /T /C /grant administrators:F
Close command prompt and try installation again.

Not sure why it does not run the command, all W7 have the C:\ProgramData folder.
Is your Windows installed on C:?
