About the Windows Installer problem

I tried Method 1 on this page
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315346

but once I got to the following step:

I got a error message. I cant remember all of it but it said something like "unable to invoke the subscribers" at the end of it.

I had gotten this error before with the other microsoft support link you gave me so I went on to Method 2

In Method 2 I proceeded to the following step:

I accidentally typed a "v" instead of a "c" in "msiexec.exe" It seemed that right when I typed in the "v" I got a message telling me something had been changed and the old settings needed to be returned and I had to insert my Windows XP disc. I believe the options were "Retry" and "Cancel" and "Retry" just brought up the same message so I hit "Cancel", returned to the command prompt, and finished step 5. I made sure to fix my typo.

But then step 8 says:

I had accidentally skipped step 7 did step 8, thinking it was talking about the same command prompt. Although that was an error, they have you do the exact same thing. So, in the end, I should have been able to proceed to the real step 8, but in step 7 you exit the command prompt, and no prompt for step showed up anyway.

I restarted my computer as directed and now when I restart Im getting a message that has "IMJPMIG.EXE - Unable to locate component" as the title and the message says: "This application has failed to start because Msi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem."

I tried downloading and installing "WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe" from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...ng=en#filelist but when I double click the file and check "I Agree" > "Next" > "Next", in the end it just says, "You have successfully completed the KB893803v2 Setup Wizard. To close this wizard, click finish." Thats all that happens.
