All sorts of stuff on the net about "set US locale" and "install with -L English" none of which worked for me.
I'd previously run VMWare off another disk without it being installed; it clearly created a registry entry which caused problems with subsequent install of full app.
Solution:
Use regedit to delete the key /HKLM/SOFTWARE/{Wow6432Node}/VMware,Inc.
You'll only have the Wow.. stuff if you're running on 64 bit.
Once this key is gone the installer worked (for me).
I did have it set in 'run as administrator' and 'run in vista compatibility mode' also, but I don't think that's what fixed it.
