I am running Vista Home premium with service pack 2. Now when I try to install VMWare workstation, I get the following message:

"An error occurred installing the package. Windows installer returned '1601'."

Now some people have suggested me to use Windows Installer Cleanup utility to fix this problem. Now when I try to install that, I get the following message:

Script:
c:\Users\anishuq\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.TMP\Sta rtMsi.vbs
Line: 17
Char: 1
Error: Permission Denied
Code: 800A0046
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error


What can I do? I really need to install softwares like VMware Workstation.
Please Advice.
