When I tried to re-install, it would stop in the middle of installing and give me this: It would rollback the changes and then keep installing.

I've also tried adjusting my administrative settings (This would be the second program that has claimed I don't have itunes could not open key verify that you have sufficient access sufficient priveledges, so I assmued it was me). However, no matter who I gave administrative priveledges too, the same thing reoccured.
