When attempting to install Toad, the following error message occurs:
The installation of component TOAD_Standalone has failed.
Products affected by this failure are;
Toad for Oracle
1610
The installation will now abort.
Followed by a Windows Installer Error:
The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel.
Could be caused by installing Toad with non-administrative rights or the Windows installer might not be updated. Maybe an issue only with Toad 9.5 to Toad 9.7.
WORKAROUND 1:
Log into the workstation as an administrative account, then install Toad for Oracle. Please consult your Network Administrator.
WORKAROUND 2:
Update your Windows installer by running Windows Updates.
WORKAROUND 3:
If you are installing on a machine with Vista, make sure that you have the User Account Control (UAC) options disabled. Here is a link that explains how to disable this option.

WORKAROUND 4:
Check the Windows Event Viewer and see if there is an error similar to:
Unexpected or missing value (name: 'PackageName', value: '') in key
'HKLM\Software\Classes\Installer\Products\5541B431EAF51844DA40079D1E334727\SourceList'
