Windows Installer problem

4235 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  atdeul
I cannot install any new programs as I get the following message:

The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\CABINET.DLL is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

I have several good 'paid for' registry and spyware cleaners but these do not correct the problem.

My laptop has a fully registered and Microsoft Verified XP home installation with SP2 and Automatric updates work fine.

The real problem I think is that I cannot find my XP installation CD disk (which it seems is required to correct this problem.)

Any suggestions would be very welcome.
