---- Setup Program Tries to Install Wrong Program

Sounds like your TEMP folder needs some cleaning. Normally installation programs will use your Temp folder as a place to expand all their installation files. In a perfect world the installer would clean these files up when it's done, but that's not always the case.

To work around this just delete all the files in your TEMP folder(s). I run a batch file every night on my machines that does this automatically:

CD "C:\temp"
del /q /s /f *.*
CD "C:\Documents and Settings\bill\Local Settings\Temp"
del /q /s /f *.*
CD "C:\Documents and Settings\bill\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"
del /q /s /f *.*
CD "C:\WINDOWS\Temp"
del /q /s /f *.*
