...policies prevent this installation

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

All of a sudden I get an error when trying to install a program "the system
administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". I have
installed dozens of programs and have never got such an error and I have
never messed with administrator policies. Any solutions? The program is
Alcohol 120% and has an .msi install file. Other programs install fine with
such
a file. I just reinstalled windows XP Pro and this is the first installation
of this
program.
