Summary: Python 2.4.1 Installer ended prematurely

Initial Comment:

Running python-2.4.1.msi with all default setting. It ends 
quickly with a dialogbox titled "Python 2.4.1 Installer 
ended prematurely". Same problem running the 2.4 msi.

Machine information:

Windows XP Professional V2002 SP2
Dell Latitude D600 640MB RAM
Symantec Antivirus 9.0.1.1000 (disable it does not help)
cscript.exe version 5.6.0.8825 (upgraded from 8820?)

The workaround mentioned in 105470 does not help. 
Running x.vbs gives me 0. Doing 

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\scrrun.dll

makes no difference.

Problem solved:

I copied the msi file to the root directory (e.g. c:\) and launch from 
there. it works prefectly.

I found that not only Python installer gave me problem, any msi 
installer gave me problem on this machine. Then I found the clue 
from Ultramon's FAQ:
