Installation fails @ 58% with Error 112 and a message similar to:
“Unable to successfully install necessary components to complete the install.”
May also say:
“Setup is unable to decompress the necessary components to continue, Error 112.”

RESOLUTION

1. The temp directory has install components left from previous install, delete them all! Finding temp directory by looking at AUTOEXEC.BAT.
OR
2. Out of hard drive space.
OR
3. There is no temp directory on the system.
OR
Reboot the computer after deleting sometimes fixes the problem

From InstallShield Documentation:
