Installing programs

[Nelson]

Everytime I tried to install a new program, whether from
a CD or a download from the internet, i get this message:
Error 1720.There is a problem with this Windows Installer
package. A script required for this install to complete
could not run. Contact your support personnel or package
vendor.
How do I go about in fixing this problem?

Thank you

Some information for you to consider if it is relevant or not to your
situation. Good luck.


To unregister and re-register Windows Installer:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /unregister and then click OK.
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /regserver click OK.
Type commands exactly, including the space between c and /.

This will not affect programs which use Windows Installer that are already
installed.
