i think the virtual drive that alcohol creates is giving problem... go to device manager and then remove the driver for the Virtual drive that alcohol has created........
and then reinstall

@nikhil, i hav been trying to install again for more than a week, it says the same error, so i suggest u not to post any more useless replies.

@champ_rock, there are no virtual drives created by alcohol that r listed under device manager!!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alcohol Soft
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Alcohol Soft

Delete these 2 keys from the registry after u have uninstalled everything, restart, and see if it works...
