Well, since no one has answer you that would know the answer

through out a suggestion. Are you running the install as "Run as
Administrator", and maybe even WinXP compatibility mode? I just ask,
because perhaps the "Add Provider" error is because the installer doesn't
have access to something it needs, or it is looking for something that is
different from XP as far as folders, or files.
