This error is likely when the permissions on your temporary folder (%tmp%) are messed up. The Classic Shell installer extracts the MSIs to the Temp folder and it is unable to do so for some reason on your PC. You can try using the free TakeOwnershipEx app (http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.18) to take ownership and grant admin permissions to your temp folder (the temp folder is at C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Temp.

Then try running the Classic Shell installer again.
