How to resolve Common "Windows Installer" Problems:
http://www.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;555175&SD=tech

More information:
1. Open up the services applet from the control panel and stop the Windows
Installer service if it is already running.

2. Open a DOS window and register the following files with command regsvr32
c:\winnt\system32\FILENAME.YYY

    (Replace FILENAME.YYY with the following file names)
    msi.dll
    msisip.dll
    msihnd.dll

3. Unregister and then register msiexec  with the commands
        c:\winnt\system32\msiexec /unregserver
        c:\winnt\system32\msiexec /regserver

4. Open the registry and check the ImagePath under
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer.  Does it
point to the correct path? It should be something like:
C:\WINNT\System32\MsiExec.exe /V

5. Reboot the computer and retry the installation

6. If it still doesn't work, look into KB artcle Q315346

Thanx very much Todd.

Smooooooch!

Don't get me wrong. hehe

Actually we had a DAS sol confgired as RAID3 and one of the disks had
already failed and we were not in a state to afford another disk failure as
the failed disk had gone for repair.

I just re-registered the exe file using the mentioned command.
