Hello, SIM,.
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.
I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.
Did you recently brought no changes to software on your computer?
Thank you for details on the issue.
This problem may occur if the Windows service install does not work, or due to corrupted Windows files.
I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.
Method 1:
Check if installation of Windows service is enabled. Please follow these steps:
a. Click Start, type services.msc in the start search box and press ENTER.
b. in services, right-click Windows install, click on Properties.
c. make sure that the service Windows install is running and set as automatic.
d. If not, select the Startup type to Automatic and click on 'Start'.
e. click apply and ok.
If this does not help, use method 2.
Method 2:
Run checker (SFC) of file system and see if it helps.
Refer to this article:
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

I need to scan all my computer and start over?Hi Missy,
We are not yet close to deciding that still and I hope that's not turn out to be necessary. But I suspect you may be in the wrong place for this problem (although I will still cover it as if it was a malware issue the same as I would for a person who presented a case where they believed simply infected and wanted to know what to do).
While this may be caused by a malware (anything can be caused by malware), this seems more like a problem involving your system files, corruption on the hard disk, a faulty program that keeps trying to run, problems with some driver or device, or something in that sense. If you want to check the system for malware, I'll provide quick instructions as a P.S. below, but I think you would be better to post on http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/system?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376 and enter your version of Windows at the top to get the right forum for your system and repost the problem there. I believe that the recovery and repair procedures and diagnostic is a more suitable for this starting point and the experts he specialize in this. If they think that it is malware, come back here to get instructions on what to do (unless you decide to try first - it's your decision).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
P. S.
First, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx. This may or may not remove the infections, but will probably not correct the damage caused by them. Even if they or your current AV software seem to work or indicate that you are not infected, you should not completely trust in them and must continue with the recommendations that follow (so it's up to you if you want to try them first, or just ignore all this and get help from an expert you really need as described below).
Correctly and completely remove these infections can be complex and often require manual removal procedures (which may or may not be entirely effective either). Even if they work, I suggest what follows in any case, so that we can start it (you can ignore the methods above if you want it really is the way forward, but it won't hurt to them for trying).
Please follow these recommendations of JimR1 - MVP compliments:

I tried to install a program and I got an error message that says "Windows Installer" is not installed correctly and I need to contact the support staff. I get also a message when I log that says steetings.ini is occupied by another program and it will not allow the sidebar to come.
Try the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to troubleshoot the problem with Windows Installer:http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml.
For the issue of the Sidebar, do a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
