Windows installer errors

Here's hoping I'll find some help:

Lately,whenever I try to install new programs and/or updates to existing
ones, I get an error that essentially says that the application is unable to
open Windows installer and that this may be due to running Windows in Safe
mode (I'm not) or that installer is not correctly installed.

Is there a solution to this or a work-around?

Thanks in advance,

Christopher,

Yes I have. Hasn't made a bit of difference. Made a search on this site for
this problem and found some suggestions that I also tried to no avail. One
that I have not yet tried is to uninstall the DirectX.

Well, being the impatient person that I am, especially with a PC that I
think by now should be functioning more or less like a refrigerator, I
resorted simply to restore the system to an earlier time when the problem did
not exist. That worked except that I lost a few things. Thanks for trying to
help me though.
