128 mb of ram 900 mhz Amd Athlon processor
30gb hd with 23 gb free
IE 6 SP1 plus internet tools
F sys 32 bit

when i use Belarc advisor it says that i have windows installer msiexe.exe
modified in 2002 (i just picked up this pc in aug 2009)

it also says i need to reinstall UPDQ823559.which i tried and it does not
seem be there.

when i go to download most programs,( examples- RaydarSync, or filehippo
updater, or openwith.org etc etc.) they first say that i need
netframework
two, the program then asks to download it and it cannot because it says
that
i need the prerequisite ms wiindow install 2.0 (Instmsi.exe). i also get
the
message that i am missing DLL file MSCOREE.DLL.

i have been to ms download sites for the installer, the update and the net
frame work a zillion times, they are not lisred in add/remove and i do
not
know how to find them or open them if they are in my system somewhere.
i am frustrated and need help straightening all of this out. i do not know
if i should try AAron Stebner's net framework set up verification tools
etc
and or the windows installer clean up utility or both or not
??????????????

please help !!!!!

Help is on the way.
Don't forget, this is the weekend and my qualification is limited.
