Problem with silent install on x86 VMs (x64 are OK)

Hello
I'm trying to do silent install on an x86 VM with the following commands:
net use G: "\\cristienas\Uranus\Windows\x86\NetWorker Clients\Version 7.6 SP3\networkr" /user:STROUD\<user> <password>
"G:\setup.exe" /s /v"/qn /L*v """%TEMP%\networker_install.log"""

The log shows failure:
MSI (s) (E4:78) [16:36:20:843]: Attempting to delete file C:\WINDOWS\Installer\1b487.mst
MSI (s) (E4:78) [16:36:20:843]: Unable to delete the file. LastError = 32

The whole log is attached.

The analogous process on x64 runs and installs OK.

I noticed the entries:

Property(S): NwX64InstalledError = The 64-bit version of NetWorker is already installed. Uninstall 64-bit NetWorker before installing the 32-bit version.

But analogous entries exist for the x64 install - and that ends with successful install.

Manually running the x86 client is fine.

Please could you give me an idea where I am going wrong?

Thank you.
