Windows Installer v3.1 installation failed

Hi there,
I have XP Professional with SP2. When I used windows update, my system
downloaded Windows Installer v3.1 to my system. But when it tried to install
Winodws Installer v3.1, it kept failing.
I used the XP CD disc to repair Windows then tried to update Windows again.
Same result, Windows Installer v3.1 installation failed.
Can anybody helps me to solve this problem. Many Thanks.

Hi, alau38

I had same problem , but MS support could not fix the error.
If you have "genuine" XP license, install IExplorer 7 Beta.
It fixed the fault

You might find that Dial-a-Fix from http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix
helpful. Use its options to repair Internet Explorer and Windows Update,
and to re-register essential system DLLs.
