I downloaded Windows installer 4.5 so i could reinstall, but since that version is already on my system, it won't install because I already have the 'right' version. So I removed msiexec.exe and msi.dll and msihnd.dll so I could reinstall windows installer, but that didn't work. I tried unregistering msiexec and registering it again: didn't work.

Any ideas?
