Windows Installer is not correctly installed

While trying to install updates for Adobe Reader (current version is 9.3) failure, asking me to run Adobe Reader repair.  Then tells me that Windows Installer is not correctly installed or does not.  This is a 64-bit of Windows Vista Dell computer.  The same error message also appears with MS Office updates.

We will try to repair Windows Installer (I guess it was properly aiinstalle at a time or you would have had a lot of problems other software installation).  We will try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility at:http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml and see if that solves the problem.

If this does not work, what is the EXACT message you get on Windows Installer and when does it appear?  When the problem started?  Which version of Windows Installer you are using and which version has problems?  A new version has been installed recently, and it is this new version with the problem?  Which version of Vista you are using (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2)?  What are you installation requires Windows Installer, which causes this problem (name and version of the program)?

I hope this helps.  Keep me updated, and please answer my questions in your next reply if necessary.

Thanks and good luck!
