Try unregistering, and then re-registering Windows Installer. This procedure
corrects most situations, and does not affect any currently-installed program
that uses the Windows Installer.
To unregister and re-register Windows Installer:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /unregister and then click OK.
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /regserver click OK.
Type commands exactly, including the space between c and /.
This will not affect programs which use Windows Installer that are already
installed.
or
Windows Installer error
Go to Start/Run and type: regsvr32 msi.dll
then
Go to Start/Run and type
SFC /SCANNOW
Make sure you have your WinXP CD in the CD Drive before executing the SFC
command.

The three files are which can be expanded using msconfig:
msi.dll, msiexe.exe and msihnd.dll

Microsoft has updated the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. You can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems. For example, you may have to remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems when you try to add (or remove) a component of your program that was not included when you first installed your program.
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does not:
Remove Windows Installer.
Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003.
The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does:
Provide a dialog box where you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer. You select the programs on the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.
Remove the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select.
If you use this utility to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program and you plan to reinstall the program, you should reinstall the program in the same folder where you originally installed it. This prevents duplication of files on your hard disk or disks.
