If you are using 4dos, or another application which 
gives you long path statements, this can cause the
problem (it did for me!).  Try cutting your path to
less than 128 characters, Windows simply can't 
handle more.

Interestingly, sometimes I got windows to work with
longer paths, but certain programs, like Setup, still
refused to run, and just crashed.  Microsoft would
say it was my fault. :)  oh Well.
