Today I encountered the same error during the installation of Matlab 2014b - on Win7 64bit. When it finally worked I had moved the downloaded installation file to a usb stick and deselected the creation of a desktop-link.
However I guess the first thing did the trick, as at some point the installer asked for the admin credentials and then started to download files into the dir where the installer was located ... on the USB stick the admin account of course was able to write, whereas on my usual account there might have been a problem. The file mentioned in the error message simply might be the first one to be downloaded and which can't be written.
If that's really the problem, Mathworks should improve the installer in this point and respond with an appropriate description of the error.
