Have a look at the registry. What do you find under these keys?
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.msi
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package

 

[ju.c]

Try this:

Either you are logged on under a non-admin account, or
else your registry is damaged. If it is the latter and if this
is a recent problem then you may be able to fix it with
System Restore.
