Hello everyone; it's been awhile!
I hope this message finds you all well!

Recently, I've come across the problem that I believe has to do with my Windows Installer. I've noticed that whenever I turn on my computer, this pop-up message from Windows Installer comes up on the boot up as Windows is done loading all of my programs. Also, this pop-up message comes up when I try to install certain programs, such as Blackberry Desktop Software, and then immediately terminates the install from there on out. The message says exactly as follows:

____

I don't know exactly what this message means, but I know it is preventing me from installing certain programs on my Dell Inspiron 9300. Please please please help! I haven't a clue of what to do, and I've tried searching everywhere on Google to locate a resolution to no avail. :)

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated; thanks!

Have you updated Windows Installer? Go to Windows Updates and see if there are any new updates available, if so, download them :) .

Regards,
David.
