Re: clicking Office program icon opens Windows Installer

You have to use following steps to fix the problem.
1.First go to Start button -> now select Run option and then type in:
msiexec /unregister
Now press enter.

2.After this again click on Start button -> now select Run option and then type in:
msiexec /regserver
Now press enter.


After this if you still have the same problem then go to following link to clear the installer database using "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility"
