Audition 3.0 won't install om Windows 10

Question

I am trying to install Audition 3.0 on my Windows 10 desktop.This is a new PC without much "baggage" from old installations. When I click on Audition 3.0 Setup.exe, I get asked in what language I want, when I click "next" I see a quick flash and then nothing. There are no files found on the OS drive. I have even removed every mention in the registry, rebooted and turned off Norton protection. NOTHING! I should note that I successfully installed the same files on my laptop running Windows 10 Home without a hitch.

Please help: I have spent hours trying.

I found one solution that allowed me to install Audition 3.0! Instead of selecting "Audition 3.0 Setup.exe", I right-clicked "components.msi" and chose Install. Worked like a charm! For the sake of full disclosure, I did encounter an error at the end of installation (or was it when I first opened the program?) and it said it couldn't find a supported audio device. After rebooting, the program opened and worked great!

I must say that the same trick did not work on the downloaded Audition 3.0.1 Patch

Regarding the Audition 3.0.1 patch failing to install: I found a work-around (but it made me nervous to try.) I extracted all of the files from the data1.cab and copied them into C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Audition 3.0. NOTE: I renamed the only 2 files which would have been written over: Audition.exe and noclick.xfm.

When I launched Audition, I was running version 3.0.1!
