Why does installation fail with error code 0x80070005?

0x80070005 is a Microsoft error code that means “access denied”. The most common situation where you might see this error is if you are installing it manually (from the ZIP file), while running as a user who does not have permission to install software. It should work if run from an administrative command prompt, or while logged in as an administrator or power user.
