    Click Start

    Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD

    Click 'Run as Administrator'

    At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any integrity violations

    Restart your system

    1. Insert the Windows 7 DVD
    2. Restart your computer
    3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD drive, do so.
    4. Choose your language, click Next.
    5. Click 'Repair your computer'
    6. Select operating system you want to repair.

    i have tried each and every fix listed on this site but nothing has worked and it's incredibly frustrating.  I try to install i-tunes and get a message to check if it's a valid Windows installer package.  I try to install Microsoft office and keep getting a message that Microsoft encountered an error and then the program closes.  If i try to download Windows Installer package, I get a message saying that it's all ready installed...

    I have been trying to fix this for weeks to no avail.  I have no Windows 7 back up DVD as it came installed on the computer out of the bos.

    Can someone please help with a valid fix?

    Hey.. Are misunder standing something..

    I dont think we need to repaire the OS for fixing windows installer.

    we can simply reinstall or get newer version of windows installer.

    If you could link me to a downloadable file of a windows installer for Windows 7, that would be great. I, for one, cannot find one.
