David,
 
Because of changed made to registry entries and protected filesystems, local
Administrator rights are normally required in order to install PyMOL under
Windows.  Did the IT department recently take those away perhaps?
 
If not, then maybe the tips posted on PyMOLWiki can help:

Subject: [PyMOL] pymol nstall problems


Hi,
I've been unable to install Pymol recently on an XP Pro-SP2 system.  I'll
start setup.exe, and ntvdm.exe starts running but nothing progresses from
there (no error messages and installshield doesn't start).  I'm not sure if
it's a software conflict with something else running, but it's likely (and
the PC is managed/regulated by the IS department, so I have limited ability
to muck around with it, and they like to push patches in the middle of the
night).  At one time I successfully installed 0.99rc6, but now that install
also fails, so something has changed.
 
I've seen other posts where people have had problems with the 5.10.130.0
version of installshield on xp; I've cleaned out my temp directory, and
tried running setup in various compatibility modes and with its own memory
space, and in safe mode.
 
Has anyone else seen/fixed this problem?
Thanks,
Dave
