Error on installing IBM Cognos TM1 9.5

[nbafifa02]

I am trying to install Microsoft Cognos TM1 9.5.100.2380 on Windows Server 2008R2. I ran setup.exe to install. At the end of the installation,

Issue1: I received the two errors:

Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files(x86)\Cognos\TM\bin\tm1prc.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147220473.
Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files(x86)\Cognos\TM\bin\tm1xl.ocx failed to register. HRESULT -2147220473.

I googled the errors and it might happen if Cognos TM1 is not installed under local admin account, but I was logged on as local admin.

Issue 2: I checked the event log the below errors appeared.

I checked the event log the below errors appeared.

I installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable, but it did not seem to fix the problem.

Can anyone please help me with the two issues? Thanks.

Even though you are logged in as an administrator you still have to right click on the setup.exe and select "Run as administrator" from my experience.

Thanks for your help guys!. I installed vc++2005SP1 Redistributable and Cognos TM1 was installed successfully without error. BTW, once I installed the VC++2005SP1 Redistributable, I just ran the TM1 MSI by double clicking on it. Do not need to use Run As administrator again. Thanks anyway.
