I too have the problem. My desktop have xp and Vista 64 dual boot. Neither will install at all. When I click setup.exe it shows on the taskbar but the installation window won't pop up. In task manager it says the setup is "Not Responding". My computer spec:
Q6600@3.2Ghz, 4G@8500, 8800GTS
Odd thing is this game will install on my laptop from 2003, which is way too slow to play it however.
Another person has the same problem:

Icon5 King's Bounty Installation Problems
Just picked up a copy of King's Bounty and went to install it. Autoplay screen came up fine, and I clicked "Install", but nothing happened. THEN I looked down in the taskbar and saw that the install WAS apparently trying to run. Waited quite a while (half hour or so!!!) but nothing else happened.
Opened Windows TaskManager and saw that the setup was listed under Programs as "Not Responding". The only way I could exit was from there.
I tried rebooting, disabling anti-virus, firewall, etc, but all to no avail.
Also checked out the disk for dirt or scratches - NOTHING, but I cleaned it anyway.
Finally copied the contents of the disk to a folder on the hard drive with no problems. Tried running setup from HERE with the same results...
HELP!!!!!

You might try asking at this forum, too. link
It may have to do with the copy protection on the disc.

...OK, now get THIS!!! I have dual-boot on my machine - XP and Vista. I booted in XP and the game installed and ran FLAWLESSLY!!!
Not only that, but when I re-booted in Vista and located the executable where I had installed it in XP, it ran perfectly as well!!! And it even let me load a saved game from my session in XP.
I no longer have a problem with running the game, but I would STILL like to find out why it wouldn't install in Vista...

Anyone from production has any idea why this is happening?
