Hello,
to solve your problem, you should use an elevated prompt even if you are logged as an administrator.
To perform that, right-click your file and click on run as an administrator
and then all should okay.
You can also disable UAC and run your file but I don't recommand that for security reasons (If you disable it enable it again after the install).
If you want KB942288 for Windows Vista, download it from here.
