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
