Have you checked you permission to run the program(s)? If in doubt, and you're the only on on the computer, change permissions to everyone. I did that to get by a few micro-halts.
Also verify your temp directory is fully R/W by everyone.

i only had one account in win7, nd tat is administrator

I think there is something conflicts with KIS. Just disable KIS and restart for test purpose just see.

Good advice.
A lot of software can't be installed with anti-virus or anti-spyware software running. And there is the rare case of software not compatible at all with your security software.

hi, after googling for some time nd after some trials my problem is finally solved.
Here im posting the solution, so that it would be helpful to any one who is facing the same problem.

I added localservice and networkservice to the administrator group.


Type in the following commands in cmd prompt(with admin privileges):

net localgroup administrators localservice /add
net localgroup administrators networkservice /add
exit

Then reboot.

Set Network Location Awareness service startup type to manual if it is stopped or disabled.

starting this service made my network icon loose the unplugged message, been using my pc for 2 weeks on a static ip with a 'network cable unplugged' message in the corner.
