Hi:
I am new to this forum - but not to computers.
Since a couple month I have the problem, that I cannot
install any software which uses the Windows Vista Installer.
Installation of any other software works without any problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Wil

Four letter word,
We can try downloading, and installing windows installer (remove the corrupt one first) from here.
The version WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe should be correct.
It is for XP but should work with Vista.
