This article keeps referring to MS Office but it applies to Ventrilo as well.

Solution - Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.

Select Ventrilo in the list and remove it. This will remove vent off of the installer database and you should be able to install it again.

Hey, well it worked for me

I guess the MSI installer gets annoyed if it detects a previous installation of Vent and it doesn't want to install another. This is easily caused if someone deleted all the Vent files without using add/remove programs within Win XP.
