1. Go to Start > Control Panel and double click on Add/Remove Programs.

2. Top right hand corner, tick Show Updates box.

3. Scroll all the way down and find Windows Installer 3.1. Click Change/Remove to uninstall it.

4. Re-download and re-install a copy of Windows Installer 3.1 here:

5. Restart computer.

See if it happens again.

i tried another method, renaming msi.dll to msi.bak, but renamed is not possible at all as stated in my 1st post. Embarassed

Because it's Windows file.

Wait I find out more.

How about this?

Start > Run and copy and paste in the following: regsvr32 msi.dll, press Enter

Why the hell do you want to delete this file? It's a Windows file, delete it you can't install programs on Windows.
