You didn't specify whether this is a local or domain "administrator"
account, but make sure the account you are using is in the
workstation's local administrators group. Also, you'll usually get
this message if you are trying to install a MSI based product over
itself. Check "Add/Remove Programs" and make sure it isn't already
installed.
