Windows Installer missing?

[vonkiser]

Hello, I am running Vista 32 bit, started not being able to download updates. Went to install a game to no avail, problem after problem. Went to update video cards and messed up video cards. Gives me a windows installer error."Windows Installer could not be accessed. Tried to update installer through Microsoft and update said" not for this system". Help?

Hi go to this microsoft link and select the right download for vista http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4&displaylang=en

I have gone to the microsoft site and downloaded it, it tells me the download is not for my system.

I did the first 2 the one for Vista and the one for SP 1 and they keep telling me not for my system. I go into the admin services on the control panel and it says its there. I dont understand what is going on.

Also just another note. I cant download any of the "fix it" utilities because my installer is missing.

I am currently experiencing the exact problem with my Vista 32 bit system. Did you resolve the issue? and if so, please share your knowledge with me.
