You could try installing the Windows Installer 2.0 update, but that is included in SP3. Are you trying to install with Administrator rights?

When I downloaded Windows Installer 2.0 and started to install it said that it already exists on my computer.. And this has only one account which has administrator rights so it shouldn't be the problem.
