Brian,

You installed the MSVC 2008 Redistributable Package (x86),[1] right? If 
this didn't fix it, try clearing the QuantimGIS entry in the Windows 
registry.  If you're brave, go to Start > Run, type regedit and OK.

Within the Registry editor, navigate using the left-hand browser:
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QuantumGIS

(I'm guessing this is in here for the previous version of QGIS, but I 
don't know for sure)

Select QuantumGIS folder from left-hand side and delete it. Be very 
careful with this step, and make sure you are only deleting this folder 
and nothing else.
