or
unregister, and then re-register 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.

Windows Installer error
Go to Start/Run and type: regsvr32 msi.dll

Make sure you have your WinXP CD in the CD Drive before executing the SFC command.
 
i've unregistered and registered, registered msi.dll,
what does the sfc do?

i've also done the tweak on line 94, and also on windows
update it just sits on initialising installation...
