Windows Installer Hanging

Comment:
I have a WIndows XP SP2 system running. Recently I have a peculiar problem. Whenever I try to install or remove any applications using the Windows installer, ie, when I run .msi files, it crashes and opens up the debugger. I tried re-installing the Windows installer, but no luck. Please Help me in this regard
