Yep, so the story goes:

- I ripped out all Altera software from my computer.

- Had to use regedit to fully clean it though because the altera software clumsily leaves junk behind in registry.

- Re-install Quartus II sp2 Build 259 into clean directory "11.1" and program group "Altera 11.1".

- Tried installing ModelSim-Starter 11.1 sp2 Build 259 into directory "11.1" and program group "Altera 11.1" and kaplunk! It refuses to install.

- Rather than going all the way back to first version of modelsim 11.1 I took a chance, burnt more download time, and got hold of ModelSim-Starter 11.1 sp1 Build 216 and installed it into directory "11.1" and program group "Altera 11.1" successfully.

Ergo, there is something flaky in the ModelSim-Starter 11.1 sp2 Build 259 installer.
