Windows Installer service could not be accessed

"The Windows Installer Service Could Not Be Accessed" error message when you install a program in Windows XP

Ran into this today on a Windows XP machine that had Service Pack 3 and appeared to be freshly patched. To fix the problem, simply do the following from start->run:

msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver

This will re-register the Microsoft Installer service which will then fix this error when you try to add or remove programs.
