Seriously, Microsoft??? This same error has been coming up since Windows XP! It is January 2013.

Windows 8 64x. Attempting to install Adobe 9, getting this same error.
I run mmc services - the services IS started, IS set to manual, and the option to change the startup is grayed out. I am an administrator on my machine.
I tried the following in a cmd.exe window &quotRun as Administrator&quot.
&gt msiexec /unregister
&gt msiexec /regserver
&gt net stop msiserver
&gt net start msiserver
The service reported it successfully stopped and started.

Still won't install, and anything else that uses the Microsoft Windows Installer won't install.

I find nothing about this happening on a Windows 8 install. I am dual-booting Windows 7 and Windows 8, and it is happening only on Windows 8.
Can't you get out an authoritative fix on this????? Seriously?
