Champs,

Thanks for your words of advice.

1. I tried to reinstall Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable. However, I failed in doing so and received either of the two messages every time:

'The update does not apply to your system'
'The requested operation requires elevation'

2. In the 'Services' tab, the startup type for RPC actuator as well as Windows Installer is set to 'Automatic'. However, only for the Windows Installer, when I try to click 'start' in the left-hand-pane, I get the message:

'Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified'.

I am not good at computers. But I guess there is some problem with the particular (program) file of Windows Installer on my computer. Any suggestions on reinstallation or changing the settings or so..?

I appreciate your time and help.
