msi.dll error messages

steve759 · 10-09-2009, 02:00 AM

I am continually getting the following message:

"C:\Windows\system32\msi.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try isntalling the program again using the original software or contact your software vendor for support".

I can't run microsoft products or install new programs. How do I fix this or get a new copy of "msi.dll"
