This is not an uncommon error on Windows.  It happens if you
move Bridge to a different directory, or install one of several Adobe
apps.

Here are a few related pages:

http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=529 mentions that 
if the msi action RegisterForAum40 of the installer fails, you get the
same symptom.

"Solution 2: Install your Adobe CS2 application on a different computer, then
copy the Licenses folder to the original computer.
   1. Install your Adobe CS2 application (ex., Photoshop CS2 or Creative Suite
2) on a different computer.
   2. Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe folder.
   3. Copy the Licenses folder from this computer to the computer that is
experiencing the problem. (Via a network, a flash drive, floppy disk, burned
CD, or any other method that is convenient.)
   4. On the computer that is experiencing the problem, place the Licenses
folder in the same location: the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe folder. 
...
[Why it happens:]
During the Premiere Elements 4 installation, the 
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Licenses folder is incorrectly removed. 
Bridge CS2 uses that folder to validate whether a host application (ex., 
Adobe Photoshop CS2 or Adobe Creative Suite 2) has been installed."

Oddly, I don't see the Licenses folder being referenced...?
Does copying that Licenses folder work around the problem?  I bet not.
