We have had the same problem for a long time. Work-around was to do a
custom install and pick a few products at a time. Then one day decided to
install Oracle workflow client and did not have a "custom" option. Oracle solved
problem by granting full control to system/everyone on the drive installing
to.

>>>Dave,I suspect this is bug 1291239 "OUI DISAPPEARS
WHILEINSTALLING OLE DB COMPONENTS" that is not yet fixed. The workaround
is to do as Simon said and install inmultiple passes. 1-
Choose the custom install type. Select forinstallation only the problem
component (e.g. OracleProvider for OLE DB). The last itemName in
theinstallactions.log is the "problem component." De-select all other
components you're allowed to. Thiswill ensure that you only install the
minimum numberof components possible to install the
problemcomponent.2- After the first session is done, now restart
OUIand start a new installation. This time you can selectthe typical
install type (or any other install type).The items installed during the
first pass will not bereinstalled during the second pass.BTW, both
bug 1291239 and bug 1560970 appear to berelated to having the Novell client
installed. Perchance is that installed on the ones giving
youproblems?HTH,-- Anita---
