I am running a 64 bit version of Windows 7 that easily met the requirements so it was throwing me for a loop. After looking at the install log file a good friend of mine noticed that my windows user name had a special character in it (the ‘&’) and suggested that I make a new admin user without any special characters in the name. I did that and it worked. If you run into this error and are banging your head against the wall check your user name. Thanks again Josh for the find!
