Please try to do the same using Start Menu/Control Panel/AddRemovePrograms.
Once I had the same problem and it turned out that when you start the 
Control Panel, the terminal goes into a different mode where you can 
install programs. Without that, you will not be able to add new 
programs. I'm not sure why.
