Is it possible the installer is being run from a network share?  A comment from PC/bdist_wininst/install.c:

	// interesting failure scenario that has been seen: initial executable
	// runs from a network drive - but once elevated, that network share
	// isn't seen, and ShellExecute fails with SE_ERR_ACCESSDENIED.

SE_ERR_ACCESSDENIED is 5, so googling for that might offer more insights.
