Hi Andy (& all) ,

I've found it. I removed all spaces from the installation target directory ( 
D:\Program Files -> D:\ProgramFiles ) for both the installation manager and TSM 
and now the installer doesn't fail.

The odd thing is, that this issue didn't arise when upgrading TSM on a win 2008 
r2 server from 6.3.3 to 7.1.1.100. Anyway... another thing to worry about when 
I plan to upgrade my existing servers.
