This worked for me, asume you running vista/ win7? instead of double clicking it to open it, right click on it and run as adminsitrator. this may work. if not reinstall vag.com but change the setup file properties with compatibilty option for xp sp2 and tick administor privliage level.

The exact same thing happened to me. As above, run in XP Compatability mode and as an administrator, never fails.
