Right mouse click the setup.exe program and select "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR".

I have had to do that to a few programs to get them installed...

I had the same problem but I did that

1- I did a copy of all the 3 disks in a folder named Majesco\Jaw
Unleashed
2- I unzipped all the CABs there and then deleted the CABs when done
3- I moved the WMV files in a folder that I named "movie"
4- I moved the GDW files in a folder named "data"
5- I changed the "Jaws.exe" by a NO-CD fix I found on the net
6- Like specified I did a REG file to indicate the location of th
folder
by creating a new text file and copied that
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Majesco\Jaws Unleashed
"Language"=dword:0000040
"ExecutePath"="E:\\Majesco Entertainment\\Jaws Unleashed\\
"MovieFolder"="E:\\Majesco Entertainment\\Jaws Unleashed\\movie
"DataFolder"="E:\\Majesco Entertainment\\Jaws Unleashed\\data
7- I saved it as "A.REG"
8- Did a double-click on the file to MERGE the REG file and clicke
"yes"
9- I did a double-click on "Jaws.exe" and started to play
Simple as that. No need to install another OS to this simple task
Basically the installer is just doing that : unzip some files in th
"Program Files\Majesco\Jaws Unleashed" folder and write the location o
thoses files in the registry. It is easy to do this manually and bypas
the dumb stuck msi installer. Now I can play the game with Vista and
don't even have to use the CD 1 anymore to start it
Hope this will be useful
