Can't Open Certain .EXE Files In Windows 7

@ kdar
Beside the advices from other members on this forum. I’ve searched and found the following site, maybe it will help solve your problem.

Good luck

DO NOT CLICK ON THAT DIRECT DOWNLOAD !

If you want to try that software, then get it here;

PC Health Advisor - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

Many sites which offer it are full of spyware and similar stuff.

Personally, I would advise you not to try it at all, these programs are largely useless, and many are dangerous.

Programs which "Fix" the registry are also to be avoided. It will not fix your installer problems.

If you read the reviews at the link I gave you above, then you will also see that the program is basically just an attempt to rip you off. Such programs are also known as "Scareware", they basically try to scare you into buying their useless products.

How do I reinstall those files (msihnd.dll, msiexec.exe & msi.dll) ?

System restore didn't work (I guess it wouldn't have.)

System restore will only work if you go back to a date before you had the problems.

If you have a good backup image you can also use that.

The only other alternative is a clean re-install.

To All
Sorry for posting the former site without reading the full responses in other sites.
Thanks Mike

No problem. If you post things like that, then post a link to the download page of the site, and not a direct download link.

The site actually checked out "Clean" on VirusTotal;

VirusTotal - Free Online Virus, Malware and URL Scanner

But that does not mean the program is any good! :) The misleading descriptions and redirected links give it more the nature of a scam for the unwary.

Would following these steps reinstall those files? (Repair Install)
Problem is that I don't have the installation CD..

If you don't have a valid product code and an installation or repair disc, there is nothing you can do.
