There are may be installer issues due to inadequate permissions on the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL

Open Regedit. Navigate to the registry key, select Security, and then click Permissions.
Verify that the following permissions are set up for the registry key:

Administrator Full Control
Creator Owner Full Control
Everyone Special Access (all but Create Link, Write DAC and Write Owner)
System Full Control

NOTE: You may not have all the above listings set up for your registry key.
For those listed, ensure that the permissions are set as above.
When modifying the registry key, check "Replace permissions on existing sub keys."
