Having problems installing CS4

Question

The error code i get reads as follows....
Suite Shared Configuration CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1310. Error writing to file:
C:\Windows\installer\2c936.msi.      Verify that you have
access to that directory.
Thats the error I get when trying to install even just photoshop from the CS4 design premium disks. My system is a Dell inspiron 1545 and I have had the program on it previously. But my HDD recently failed any detailed explaination would be greatly appreciated as my skills and vocabulary with software is very limited.

Answer 1

I finally got it to install! I'm not sure exactly how I did it I just followed the below directions and actually did it in the programfile folder tho I couldnt really get my permissions set to to full they were set to special. I checked the advanced and all permisions were set to full. Anyway not sure how I did it but this was the part of the the above document link that worked for me. Thanks again
You would need to perform the steps below on the folder reference in your error message. The ProgramData folder is used in this example.
     In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\.  
     Right-click ProgramData and select Properties.
Important: If you are unable to see the ProgramData folder proceed to the section, "To show hidden files and folders" then continue with step 3.  
     In the ProgramData Properties window, select the Security tab (1). Click Advanced (2).
     In the Advanced Security Properties For ProgramData window, select the Owner tab (1). Click Edit (2).
     Select the Administrators group (1) under Change Owner To, select Replace Owner On Subcontainers And Objects (2), and click OK (3). If a Windows Security dialog appears, click Yes to continue.
     Click OK to close the Advanced Security Properties for ProgramData window.  
     Click OK to close ProgramData Properties dialog box.  
     Right-click ProgramData and select Properties.  
     In the ProgramData Properties window, select the Security tab. Click Advanced.  
     In the Advanced Security Properties For ProgramData window, select the Permissions tab (1). Click Edit (2).
     Verify that the value of the Permissions column for SYSTEM and Administrators say Full Control. If the value does not indicate Full Control.
     Deselect Include Inheritable Permissions From This Object's Parent and click Apply.
Note: You can encounter a few dialogs to confirm that action. Copy the permissions and accept any security warnings.  
     Click Edit.  
     Select Full Control and click OK.  
     Select Replace All Existing Inheritable Permissions On All Decendents With Inheritable Permissions From This Object (1). Click OK (2).
     Click OK to close the Advanced Security Properties for ProgramData window.  
     Click OK to close ProgramData Properties dialog box.  
     Install Adobe Creative Suite 4 or Point Product. If you enabled the option for showing hidden files and folders in step 2, proceed to the section, "To hide hidden files and folders."
