Windows Installer will not work. Help!

H

Hacienda de Ville

Hi,
When I go to install different things, I get a popup that says
something like "Windows installer cannot be accessed...
Is there any easy way to fix this? I been to a few Microsoft pages
and everything seems very difficult to attempt.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Hacienda
