I generally get this error if i've downloaded a file from a 'less reputable' site.
Is the file downloaded from NVIDIA?
Also something to try is disabling driver signing enforcement, to do that press F8 when your dual boot screen comes up after a reboot, and choose the relevant option.

Have you tried installing the driver in compatibility mode and/or as administrator?

yup. try wat rsvr85 said. make sure your the admin and try it again. if that doesn't work, try scanning your disk for errors and fix them. if that doesn't work, nvidia has a corrupted file than. you can't do anything than sorry.
