Try downloading Sensiblevision's FastAccess to a specific area on the hard drive, like Downloads under your account name in C:\Users.
Right click on it and select Run as Administrator, see if that helps.
For LoJack, completely uninstall it then follow the same steps as above, see if that helps.

I tried that. No difference. Now I uncovered more problems. I tried to install FutureMark PCMark8. It bombed out in the middle with a plain vanilla error message that gave no info. When I tried to uninstall this unsuccessful installation, I got the same [bleep] Windows Installer error message. The common denominator I see is a problem with the Windows Installer. But what can I do about that?
Let's try something simple first, it might be totally unrelated, but if it doesn't work, there's a fix you can run to fix the Windows Installer (Windows MSI).
Open an elevated command prompt by right-clicking on the command prompt and select Run As Admin. Then, enter the following command :
sfc /scannowLet the scan run till 100%, and tell me what message is returned after.

Try Windows Repair (All In One).
Best to go through all the steps, one at a time. Once you get to the Start Repairs screen, click Unselect All, then select Repair MSI (Windows Installer) then click Start.
Reboot when done, see if that helped.

About all I can suggest now is to start over with a Clean Install, using a ISO from heidoc.net (MS official release site) to create a new install DVD or flash drive.

Back up your data and do a Clean Install (links I posted) formatting during the install.
