Probable Resolution #2
Some systems do not allow installation from a network. Copy the msi to the local computer and try running the installer again.
Probable Resolution #3:
Antivirus and security software programs, like Norton Antivirus may prevent the installation process from succeeding. Temporarily deactivate the antivirus and try the installation again.
