Make sure you have the latest WI for your OS -

Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4&DisplayLang=en
The Windows Installer 4.5 redistributable can be installed on Windows XP Service Pack 2,
Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2003 Service
Pack 2, Windows Vista, Windows Vista Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2008 in X86, X64
and IA64 flavors.

Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable (v2)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=889482fc-5f56-4a38-b838-de776fd4138c&DisplayLang=en
Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000 Service Pack 3; Windows 2000 Service Pack 4;
Windows Server 2003; Windows XP; Windows XP Service Pack 1; Windows XP Service Pack 2
Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable supports Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or later,
Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003.
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 contains Windows Installer 3.1 and therefore can't be
installed or upgraded by this redistributable.

If you have the right version, perhaps you need to unregister and re-register the Windows
Installer

To unregister and re-register Windows Installer:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /unregister and then click OK.
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type in the Open box: msiexec /regserver click OK.
Type commands exactly, including the space between c and /.
This will not affect programs which use Windows Installer that are already installed.
