I don't have this issue myself, but I read the following possible fixes on another forum maybe it will help:
- make sure all windows updates are installed (you can click on START and then type in "windows updates"
- Try going to the folder where the installer .exe file is, right click on it, and select "Run as Administrator"
- Try restarting the computer and then trying the installer again
I hope one of these suggestions helps

Make sure there is no folder named Diablo 3 in any of your program files. Save the installer somewhere else. I did that and it started installing with no issues.
