\nHi nancywhit,<\/p>\n

\u2022 Do you remember making any changes to the computer recently?<\/p>\n

This may happen if the Windows Installer files that are on your hard disk are damaged or are missing.
\nYou install or remove a program that uses the Windows Installer Microsoft Software Installation (MSI) package file (.msi). For example, this may occur when you try to install Microsoft Office on your computer.<\/p>\n

Method 1
\nFirst I would suggest that you check if the Windows installer service is running on the computer.<\/p>\n

1. Go to “Start” – “Run” type “services.msc” and press on “Enter” button.<\/p>\n

2. Double-click on the service named “Windows Installer”<\/p>\n

3. Check the value in the “Startup type” field. If it’s currently set to “Disabled”, then this is the problem. Change it by selecting “Manual” from the drop-down box.
\nMake sure that the service is started and set to Manual.<\/p>\n

Method 2
\nIf the above step fails then unregister Windows Installer, and then reregister Windows Installer<\/p>\n

To do this, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

1. On the “Start” menu, click “Run”<\/p>\n

2. In the “Open” box, type “msiexec \/unreg”, and then press ENTER<\/p>\n

3. On the “Start” menu, click “Run”<\/p>\n

4. In the “Open” box, type “msiexec \/regserver” and then press ENTER<\/p>\n

If the above steps fail then I would suggest that you install the latest version of Windows installer on the computer, refer the below link.<\/p>\n
