Leokev's solution:

1. At Start type "regedit"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Services
MSIServer

right click on WOW64, select "Modify"
Change Value data from "1" to "0"

2. At "Start" type "run"
type "services.msc"
go to "Windows Installer" and stop and start the program.

3. Reboot computer.

It no worky!

Now it says Error 3. So any solutions?

In order to resolve the issue you have to launch command prompt as administrator and run following commands and press enter.

msiexec.exe /unregister

msiexec /regserver,

after that click on Start Search box and type ‘Services.msc’ without quotes.
You have to click on Services Window and you have to see that status of Windows Installer Service is Started and Automatic.
