This is just a problem with the windows installer. If you find your
previous installation (typically "C:\Program Files\AbiSuite\") and
delete it completely, the new install should go painlessly. The
problem is that all of the font files and help files (and there are a
*lot*) are installed "read-only". Next time around, the installer
fails when it tries to overlay them.
