In your TEMP directory, delete the “sketchup_install” folder if it exists, before any re-attempts at running the installer. (If any errors occur, this folder may have files left behind, and it has been reported that the folder or left over files cause the installer to “error out” afterward. I personally have never had this issue, and the folder is always there on my machine with some version of the “setup.exe” and the “SketchUp201n-x64.msi” files in it.)
This is a registry key path, into which the SketchUp installer will write (or change) the “sketchup.exe” attribute.
Although the key path is complete (and correct) it is not a complete error message. Does the error message say what the issue is, involving this registry key ?
Right now we can only guess that the installer is having trouble setting the attribute. Sounds like a permissions issue.

Try to temporarily switch off any firewall or security software that may be trying to (over zelously) protect the registry from changes.
-
Try installing after logging onto your system as the administrative account. (Not your normal account.)

Try running the install in Windows Safe mode ?
