When doing a install uninstall or just updating, I get error 1721 problem with windows installer.
I keep getting error 1721 when doing an install, uninstall or just an update. At first it seems to go well. But at the last I get that error code and my computer freezes. I figure when the machine freezes, that tells me that the windows installer is corrupted. Tried to uninstall KB942288 and reinstall, but still having problems. I feel I do know that the windows installer has failed and needs to be replaced. So how do I go about doing so? Any suggestions on how to resolve my issue? I also want to mention that it does not seem to effect older software. Meaning that I can still install older versions without fail. Example: Tried to update Java to version 6 update 21 with a error 1721. However if I go back and download version 6 update 6, it will install and run fine. Help please
