El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado/The system can not find the file specified

I would recommend reviewing the log file for information about what file the Windows Installer was trying to access.

I think this is most indicative of faulty media, you might want to re-acquire the installation packages (either by downloading again or finding another disc).

It's possible some too-eager antivirus software has gotten in between Windows Installer and the installation files as well.
