1603: Error installing Windows Installer Engine
My hard drive was reloaded today (Windows ME).
I have version 6.0.2800.1106 with SP 1. I've checked for Windows updates and it says that I have no updates or Service Packs needed (other than some foreign language stuff). When I attempt to load software, I get this message: 1603: Error installing windows installer engine. A file which needs to be replaced may be held in use. Close all applications and try again. I close all apps and restart and get the same message. When I press ok, I then get this message: The installation package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer Service. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. CK |
