Program Installation error

[Kevin]

Last night I was loading various Allen Bradley PLC
programming software onto my Dell Laptop. While in the
middle of one of the loads I started receiving "Delayed
Write Error" which went on to say that data was not saved
and would be lost. Attempt to save somewhere else. This
morning when I turned it on I started receiving window
installation pop-ups that qucikly shut down by themselves
and then received the warning again, but this time for
other established programs i.e. firewall, spam filter,
anti-virus, etc. I thought if I removed the programs
that I had installed maybe the issue would go away, but
when I went to remove the program from the OS control
panel it said that I needed to complete the installation.
What should I do? How do I complete this hung
installation. Any and all help would be greatly
appreciated

Go onto google and do a search for windoes installer, it
will give you a site by microsoft telling you how to re-
install the windows installer program through DOS, this
does work as the same thing happened to me only i can't
remember the exact link

hope that helps
