======================================
1. Please download the file at Windows Update Agent 3.0
2. Save the file to C: drive.
3. Click Start->Run, type: “C:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce”
(without quotations) and then press Enter to install the Windows Update engine
4. There is a space between “C:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe” and “/wuforce”
5. Note: If you are using Windows Vista, please save the downloaded file to
the D: drive, because the file cannot be launched directly from the C: root
directory.
6. If it still does not work, please proceed to suggestion 3 to reinstall
Windows Installer 3.1.

Suggestion 3: Reinstall Windows Installer 3.1
==================================
1. Press Start and choose Run.

3. In the command line, type in the following command and press Enter:
MSIexec /unregister
4. Then, type in the following command and press Enter:
MSIexec /regserver
After finishing the above steps, please check the result again. If the issue
persists, please click Start, click Control Panel, and click Add/Remove
Programs to check if Windows Installer 3.1 has been installed. If it has,
please highlight and remove it. After that, please reinstall Windows
Installer 3.1 from the following link.
