How to fix my windows installer software?

installanywhereExpert created the topic: How to fix my windows installer software?
I tried the fix on the Microsoft site for an installer software repair, but I still cannot install new applications that use a windows installer. For example, I bought a new MP3 player, and can only explore the device because I can’t install the applicaiton. I typically get a 1325 type error.

Is there a way to fix this without wiping out my PC?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Here are the steps to fix it.

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

2. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\

3. Delete the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.
