Hi,

You have to understand the flavor of Windows which comes handy on most occation, like this one and provides you an option in the form of msconfig, which is a configuration utility,and should be used from the "Run" option after clicking "Start". Move towards Service tab and click check box notifying Windows Installer, exit, restart.

Make sure the CD/DVD you are using is in perfect condition.

There is no virus present in the system.

The hard diskh is in good health.

Sometimes antivirus/firewall installed in the windows blocks programs from installing considering them as invation.If so disable them.

Thanks.
