Failing a couple of times to install that installer, and not believing that
the registry should be handled, I kept on searching and finally came up with
the following formula (based on KB907749, method 2):
1. Get redistributable version
2. Extract msi.dll, msiexec.dll, msihnd.dll
3. Reboot in safe mode and rename, in %windir%\System32, the following files:
msi.dll -> msi.old
msiexec.dll -> msiexec.old
msihnd.dll -> msihnd.old
4. Copy extracted files of step 2 to the directiry of step 3
5. reboot
6. (optional) Check the version of any - or all - of the 3 replaced files to
make sure it's version 3.1
Enjoy
