Hello Adams,

You will need to ensure that your Windows Operating System is up to date, and that it has  the latest patches as well as updates that are required for installer service to work properly installed. Go to Start on your computer and then search for 'Windows Update', and then run it.

Regards,

Nicke

If you are installing something when you receive this, it means the problem is with the Windows Installer. First, try restarting your computer and then restart the installation. See if this works. If this doesn’t work, you need to update Windows Installer and the best way to do it is to update your operating system to the latest Service Pack.

When you install the latest Service Pack, it will also install or upgrade the Windows Installer. If you have Windows XP, download Windows XP Service Pack 3. This is the latest and last Service Pack update for Microsoft Windows XP. If you have Windows Vista, download Windows Vista Service Pack 2. This is the latest and last Service Pack update for Microsoft Windows Vista.

If you have Windows 7, download Windows 7 Service Pack 1. This is the latest and only Service Pack update for Microsoft Windows 7. If you have Windows 8, you should update your operating system to Windows 8.1. This is the latest Service Pack for Microsoft Windows 8.
