I am trying to install IE7 on a desktop and a laptop, and get the same error. Software wise they are pretty much 100% identical, with the obvious driver differences.
Here is the error I get, verbatim in the KB article..
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917925
I disabled all spyware/virus protection programs
The ie7.log file was no help, because it didn't exist on the machine. I did do a search for it too. The only file I had was ie7_main.log - I tried to search within that file for the values referenced, and they didn't exist.
I tried the fix for Vgx.dll as well, no luck.
Tried to Google, didn't find a whole heck of a lot that wasn't already mentioned/attempted, but I did see somewhere that I should try to disable System Restore, which I did, and it didn't help.
Anyone have any suggestions on this?
-edit-
OK ie7_main.log is one of the possible files, apparently ie7.log isn't always created.
Back to look at it...
-edit 2-
Ok, I read that I could try to rename iexplore.exe to iexplore.bak before running IE7 install, that didn't work either.
Tried the stuff here, http://dotnet.org.za/pieter/archive/2006/10/20/Installing-IE7-RTM.aspx
no luck there either.
Attaching a log for now, no more time to deal with this atm. Will examine more later... (renamed to .txt since I can't attach .log files)

Internet Explorer 7 could not be installed. You must restart your system to confirm that any changes to your system are undone.
After you restart, follow the "Internet Explorer Troubleshooting" shortcut on your desktop to get more information.
