    Since this afternoon I have a problem that messes up my laptop!
    When I try to install something with Windows Installer the only screen I see is the preparing and then nothing.
    Suddenly a screen pops up with an error that says something like: "Windows Installer isn't registerd" or "Windows installer is wrongly installed"

    So you all know what is comming! HOW TO SOLVE THIS?

    Will this also work on Windows 7?

    I think so.

    Try it, and if it doesn't Loony will come back to you (I ain't, that's for sure).

    I needed to remove it and all the register keys! After that I needed to install it again!
    I found it on a Dutch forum!
