Hi Josh,
Here are some articles that may help you:
322963 Error Message: The System Administrator Has Set Policies to Prevent
This
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=322963
Other things to try:
===============
A. Verify that you do have admin rights on the local computer:
1. Verify that you have administrator access on the target system and that
the administrators group has modify permission on the installation
folder.
2. Log on to the computer as a member of the local administrators group,
and then run Setup again.

B. We need to verify that there is no setting in group policy editor. To
open up group policy follow these steps:
1) Click on start and then run
2) Type in "MMC" without the quotations
3) Click on File, Add/Remove Snap In
4) Then click on Add and choose Group Policy
5) Then click Add, then click on Finish and then close
6) Then click on OK
7) Now you have the group policy editor
Browse to the following in the group policy:
1) Local Computer Policy\Computer configuration\Administrative
templates\windows components\window installer
2) Double click on "Prohibit user installs" on the right and enable it
OR
1) User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows
Installer
2) Double click on "Prevent removable media source for an install" on the
right and
enable.
C. Verify that there is no previous installation of the product that is
causing this:
1) Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Installer\Products\<compressed GUID>
where
<compressed GUID> is the 32-character unique GUID for your product if known
2) Export this key to a safe place and then delete the key from the
registry. If the unique GUID for your product is not known, the whole key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Installer\Products can be exported and
then deleted.
3) attempt the installation of the product
4) once the product is installed, the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Installer\Products or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Installer\Products\<compressed GUID>
can
be imported back to the registry.
D> Entry in the registry may be preventing the install:
Checked the registry key: -->
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\windows\currentversion
Look for a value called DisableMSI
Delete the value and test.
Thank You.
Diana.
