Installer

[Falcon]

Anyone know how to repair the windows installer?

I have been trying to install Norton SystemWorks 2004 and Internet
Cleanup 3.0 and both of them say the installer is corrupt.

Thanks

Hi

Try the methods one by one outlined here to fix Windows Installer problems in
Win2k and NT4:

PRB: Incorrect Default DCOM Settings Cause Windows Installer to Stop Responding

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;319624


After running through the four steps in the URL above, also try
this from Start/Run:

msiexec /regserver

If that doesn't solve your problem, and you have MSI 2.0 installed, downgrade
to version 1.1 (somewhat messy), and then install MSI 2.0 again:
