Similar issue here, now solved.

Hi everyone. I ran into this suggestion on another webpage, and that solved the issue:

"I ran into this issue, too. Alexey Ivanov's response didn't quite help me, but it did, however, inspire me to investigate C:\Users\x\AppData\Local\Temp.

As usual, error messages were only half-useful. In my case, the DLL wasn't missing--the installer didn't have permissions to access the folder. I didn't try running the installer as an administrator--this didn't make sense to me considering I was already using an admin account and would have expected UAC to handle privileges elevation. Anyway, like many things in Windows, this whole thing is a bit of a mystery to me.

Nevertheless, after going to Properties > Security on the C:\Users\x\AppData\Local\Temp folder and giving that Everyone the Full control permission, installers that previous had been failing now worked! Hooray! Since Everyone already had Read and Write access, I suspect that Full control also added a necessary Execute permission.

What I wonder, now, is how this happened in the first place, and what the correct permissions on this directory are supposed to be."

Please note that all the credit goes to user DIMADIMA on forum "superuser.com". Not my work, only copying Dimadima's suggestion.
