I didn't think of that.  However, I think in my reading I saw a comment whether fact or supposition that 
the Windows installer is 16bit, so if the Virtual Device Driver for that is corrupt the installer fails.  In my 
case VDD key in the Registry was corrupt and when I fixed that I was able to install without a problem.
