Trouble with Windows Installer not working properly on Windows 2000

I was trying to install Microsoft's .Net smack and ran into a strange error with the Windows Installer service. After failing miserably at locating any information on the trouble, I stumbled across two interesting documents. One mentioned several manual steps which end up rolling back the installer to version 1.1 in order to install software .. then reinstalling the later version back on the system.

The fix was to perform the following two commands either in a command prompt window or from the run line:

MSIEXEC /unreg
MSIEXEC /regserver

worked like a charm !
