When reinstalling the Windows Installer note that it is ESSENTIAL that you
rename or delete _all_ copies of msi.dll before attempting to install the
Windows Installer. KB 324638 - "OFFXP: "The MSIEXEC.EXE File Is Linked
to a Missing Export MSI.DLL:222" Error Message When You Try to Install,
Update, or Remove a Windows Installer-Based Program"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=324638). explains how to do this.
