Your scanner seems to be an old one and the latest driver from Microtek is for Windows XP. Have you tried installing the WinXP driver in "Compatibility Mode"?
To do so right click the Installer > Properties > Compatibility > Check XP
OR
Try not to install by double clicking on the Install.exe or Setup.exe Instead try a manual setup by going to Control Panel and selecting Add New Hardware and going to the page/window where you get the option "Have Disk..." and there you could search for and point to the relevant .inf (info) file from the setup folder to enable the OS to pick it up and install it from there.
I feel that trying either of the two above options could solve your problem. Please let me know, what ever the result.
