Answer 1

Hello there,

This can happen due to a number of reasons such as insufficient permissions, generic bugs, and corrupt Windows Installer service.

Some applications may return the “There is a problem with this Windows installer package” error if your computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements to run the app. Your Windows is not updated.

Restarting the Windows Installer service can do the job in most cases.

Follow these steps to proceed:

Press Win + R together to open Run.

Type services.msc in Run and hit Enter.

In the following window, look for Windows Installer service and right-click on it.

windows-installer

Choose Properties from the context menu.

Now, click on the Stop button in the Properties dialog.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
