The Service error Windows Installer could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly installed, can't use Windows Installer

Original title: Windows Installer does not

I use a laptop Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit, and whenever I try to use a Windows Installer Package (.msi file) it gives me this message: "the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team. "Because Windows Installer does not work, I can't update anything, including Windows itself. Windows Installer used to work perfectly, I got this computer for awhile. I tried /unreg msiexec/RegServer andmsiexec, none of them worked for me. If anyone can help me, please respond.

    I continued and disabled all the protections I had put in place-

    and watched as the first program installed air -.
