I also had a problem with Veritas backup. I try to apply Veritas patches
thinking that in that way I could fix Veritas but Windos Installer would not
allow me to install nothing, not even the MS Windows Updates. I found a great
advice in a bolletin board that states that the problem is APC software and
the fix is stated below:

Problem could be resolved by just modifying registry keys:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\APCPBESERVER
START value changed to 4 (disabled)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\APCPBEAGENT
START value changed to 4 (disabled)


And reboot the server.

This fixed my problem too, thank you George for your advice.
 
Worked for me as well. Windows installer is still not working properly.
Any suggestions for this?
