Can you go on SAFE MODE ? If yes, do a system restore in Safe Mode, use the
date prior to disabling the built-in admin.
Hope it works.

When you are in Safe Mode, look for System Restore, NOT system Repair.
When the system restore window opens, look for the line that says " choose a
different restore point ".
Click the dot in front. The dot should now turn blue.
Now click NEXT.
A new window will open up with a list of activities. Each activity has a
date at the front.
Choose the date BEFORE you disabled the built-in admin. Click that date.( If
the dates shown are not far back enough, click the box at the bottom that
offers restore points older than 5 days.)
Click NEXT.
Click FINISH.
Now sit back and wait. When it is done, it will ask you to login again.
Try to do your " install " again. See if it works this time.
Hope this will help.
