Windows Installer

Windows XP(Home)SP2, IE7, OE6

Unable to install .msi application.

If you perform the below actions, what is supposed to happen?

Unregister Windows Installer, and then reregister Windows Installer by
running the below Commands.

msiexec /unreg

msiexec /regserver

In my case, the only evidence that the Commands activated/completed was that
both commands refreshed the Icons on my Desktop

Any help is appreciated.

The commands re-register the MSI components in the registry.

What happens when you run a .msi application?
