I spent sometime digging into this using the debugger but I can't seem to find anything errors. I was digging into the logs for the installs on my machine, the VM and the other win 7 user machines. All the failed installs look like this:
[0778:055C][2014-06-23T10:22:04]i000: Loading managed bootstrapper application. [0778:055C][2014-06-23T10:22:05]e000: Error 0x8013141a: Failed to create the managed bootstrapper application.

I'm not sure why it works on certain machines and not others though. All of the users in this office are admins and running the file as admin doesn't seem to change much.
