MSDE Help

I need a database for a forum I am using. I downloaded
MSDE (MSDE2000A.exe). When I run the command Setup SAPWD=
(Some password) SecurityMode=SQL, or if I just double
click on setup, I get this error. I am not running
windows in safe mode. What can I do to fix the problem.


The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This
can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if
the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact
your support personnel for assistance.

Thanks

To resolve this behavior, unregister, and then re-register Windows
Installer.
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type msiexec /unregister, and then click OK.
3. Click Start, and then click Run.
4. In the Open box, type msiexec /regserver, and then click OK.
