I would go to the site for the download using the browser 'run as admin'.
This turns off "Protected Mode" for the browser, not the best thing, but
would tell you if the site has some problem with that. Rightclick a Command
Prompt icon on start, click 'run as admin' and type:
start iexplore
(note indicator on bottom status bar about protected mode: off)
