One possibility (quite a common one) is that an earlier installation
conked out leaving the Installer service thinking it's still part-way
through an installation. Usual advice is to download the latest version
of Windows Installer:

=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

(rejoin line without spaces)

... and if necessary the Installer cleanup utility.
