Error applying transforms during PSE 11 install

[David_Froh]

I cannot install Photoshop Elements 11. First attempt resulted in error 1336. There was an error creating a temporary file that is needed to complete this installation. After reading online help, I ran MSConfig as instructed, Selected Selective startup; hid Microsoft services and disabled everything else.

Upon rebooting, my computer would not work. From the Windows 7 DVD I ran the system repair tool. This ran CheckDisk evidently. After completing the computer now works properly.

But when I try to install Photoshop this error appears: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.

After searching the web it appears that the issue is in the registry. I've cleaned the registry with CCleaner.

How can this be resolved?

Windows 7 64 bit

My IT support guy asked if I tried http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall which I had not. I ran it and it worked!
