Thats not much to go on, if you are able to give the error message(s) it may help, assuming that it gives you one, but from what I can see the Creative Labs Intergrated Camera appears to be the driver you need, it also gives download\install instructions if you expand that section, it may highlight something your missing.
Assuming your still having the same problem, and you downloaded it again to check if it may be the original file was corrupted, then to start with pause\exit all anti virus\anti spyware etc you have running, to do this right click in turn on each icon near the clock and select the appropriate option, but do NOT stop the firewall running, see if that helps.
If it's still messing about then try the following, create a new folder on the desktop, right click in an open space and select create new folder, no need to name it, then place the downloaded file in the folder, now it depends what compression software you have, I use 7-Zip, with this I can right click on a file and select extract here, this will extract ALL the files from the download.
Now try running the setup or .exe file, if that still fails to work the click on Start - Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager, the camera should have an exclamation mark next to it, double click the camera and a window will open, if need be click on the Driver tab, update driver, select to install from a file, then browse to the folder on the desktop and tell it install, that should sort it easy with luck, hope something here helps.

NP just glad some of it helped, but TBH ALL installs "should" be done with protection disabled, more so with USB devices, although many don't bother and things go fine, but it is thew way you are supposed to install, so any future issues try using this method first, may make all the difference, but glad your sorted.
