This error is probably the result of a damaged registration service. To resolve this issue:-
1. Start, Run and type cmd
2. Type msiexec /unregister (note the space) and press Enter
3. Type msiexec /regserver (note the space) and press Enter

And/or download the Windows Installer clean-up utility from here http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
