Windows Installer

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me how I can update my windows installer or re-install it..
I'm having conflicting issues with installing program software and game
software...It will install some and not others..? I might be missing some
files when I was registry fixing when I was infected with a virus... but I
can't tell...
Anyways, my installer will pop up this message a second in:
Please make sure you finished any previous setup and close any other
applications...
Error Code: -5003 : 0x5
Error Information:

SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (1964)

PAPP:Star Wars® Knights of the Old Republic® II: The Sith Lords(TM)
PVENDOR:LucasArts
PGUID:629F65FB-7F3C-4D66-A1C0-20722744B7B6
$10.0.0.159
@Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) IE 6.0.2900.21
Now, I've been suggested to just delete the InstallShield file/folder
completely out for no more confliction issues with installation, but that
sounds extreme...
Any suggestions...
PS: not the software...installed them on other computers fine....exchanged
disks in case it was a corruption/damage issue...same error in installation...
HELP!!

and/or:

Go to Start/Run and type in:
msiexec /unregister [click ok]

Then Start/Run and type in:
msiexec /regserver [click ok]

If neither of the above has helped: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer

Does the image path in the right pane correctly point to: (modify drive
letter as needed)
C:\Windows\System32\Msiexec.exe /V

If not: boot into safe mode and then go to Start/Run/CMD and type in:
msiexec.exe

Once done and while still there type in: msiexec /regserver
Check the image path again, if it is now present, reboot

Thank you for your response...
Did what you mentioned and nothing....still comes up with error 5003 and
the mentioned message of "....making sure you finished all set ups....."
The path in the C:\Windows\System32\Msiexec.exe /V is present...
Any other suggestions?
