Windows Installer Cannot Be Accessed
I am getting an error when I am attempting to install the C++ Redistributable Package that says:
"Windows Installer Service cannot be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
I have attempted to look up what this means, however all of the guides I find are for Windows 2000 or Server 2003! I have also had the same error message pop up when I try to manually install updates with Windows Updater. I have no idea how to fix this problem, below is everything I think may be relevant about my PC, if anyone can help please do.
Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit version
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 2.66 Ghz
4 GB DDR3-1333
GeForce GT220
Western Digital Caviar Blue HHD 320GB 7200 RPM
ASUS P5P43TD Motherboard
I built this machine myself but I have very little knowledge about Operating Systems or how to fix them, thank you for your time.
