Delphi XE 2 Crashing on Startup

I just installed Delphi XE 2 and went through the whole installation process; however, when I try to launch Delphi XE 2, I get the following error messages, and then nothing happens (Delphi XE 2 crashes or something and fails and no screens appear). I have already tried repairing, uninstalling and then reinstalling.

Error Message 1:

Error Message 2:

Error Message 3 + 4:

Did something fail to register during the installation process? Any ideas on how to remedy this issue?

I have also asked this question on Embarcadero's forums, but have yet to receive an answer. A bit of Googling revealed that this problem was asked before on Embarcadero's forums, but the link is now dead.

In order to get Delphi to install correctly, I needed to install a few .NET 3.5-4.0 updates (apparently these were not marked for automatic download and installation), reboot, uninstall Delphi XE 2, and run the Delphi XE 2 installer as an Administrator.

After doing this, Delphi XE 2 worked without a hitch.

Are you running the IDE as an Administrator, or did you run the installer as an Administrator?

I have actually seen this error (The first one, specifically) before, and the solution was to run the installer with admin rights so that certain .NET assemblies could be registered correctly.
