Re-install Windows Installer, contact the game publisher, contact M$ hotline.

I got it solved from a newsgroup user's reply

Start > Run and type in
cmd

and there type in again

net stop msiserver

and reboot. Then detele the content of these folders:

Windows\Temp
Documents and settings\[user]\Local settings\Temp

Then, again in "cmd", type in

net start msiserver
