Installer won't run

[Mat]

Microsoft Installer won't run whenever I try to install a
new program from CD. I get the error mess that it was
not avail. or installed incorrectly.

Is this of any assistance:

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.
