Currently Windows Installer 5 is not available for download which is installed with Windows 2008 Server R2 and Windows 7. What you can do is run sfc /scannow from the run command which should repair any corrupted system files.

Hi,
Can you install Windows Live Messenger or Office components?
If so, Windows Installer is not corrupt. Otherwise, Windows Installer could be correct.
Please run SFC first to repair the system files. If the issue persists, we may need to import the Windows Installer related registry. Please backup your
registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msiserver.
Then download the file from the following site and then double-click it to import the registry.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
Have you import the Windows Installer related registry?
If not, please have a try:
1.
Backup your registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\msiserver first.
2.
Download the MSIServer08R2.reg file from the following site and then double-click it to import the registry.
