So, I tried to install it using the default location (Program Files).  I get a
permission error when it tries to copy the files (can't write to the
directory). I don't get the usual UAC prompt like I do installing other
programs.  I would assume that coping the files would be done by elevating to
Administrator or SYSTEM privs first, but I have the feeling it is trying to
copy the files as the local user instead.  That probably also explains the
other errors you get (normal user can't muck with those either).
