Try to repair the window first if failed then your 2nd option should be fresh installation.

Are you installing the windows by booting from hard disk, if yes then try to install windows by booting your computer with cd rom.

Also try to install latest service packs for overcoming windows errors.

You can also find out the solution by checking whether your windows installer service is running.

You can check it by going to run, enter “msconfig” and press enter.

You will see a windows menu like below

 

Check windows installer if it is running. If it is stopped then change its status to running and try to install your program again.

This error is due to a virus attack on your computer. Viruses can damage all of your programs once they hit your system. Scan your computer with an updated antivirus software.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, try to reset the registry settings of your Windows Installer Service. Refer to the link below for more information.
