I just installed the Opera Web browser and when it
finished installing I received the following message.

Error 1722: Problem with the Windows Installer Package. A
program run as part of the setup did not finish as
expected. Contact ...

How do I fix this error?
 
Windows Installer error
Go to Start/Run and type: regsvr32 msi.dll
then
Go to Start/Run and type
SFC /SCANNOW
Make sure you have your WinXP CD in the CD Drive before executing the SFC
command.
 
Download a copy of Windows Instlaller 2.0 from download.mocrosoft.co
Boot to safe mode and delete all instances of: msi.dll, msiexec.exe, and msihnd.dll
Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer from the registry. Repeat for any other instances of MSIServer
Reboot the computer and reinstall the Windows Installer.
Note: Do not install the Windows Installer while in safe mode.
