Why am I getting this message? HELP ME PLEASE

[psy44]

Ok, I downloaded tweak UI a couple of weeks ago, now I try to install another power toy and it says WIndows INstaller could not run, because windows is either in safe mode or windows was not installed properly. I tried other programs like office XP and they wont install either!? Someone please help

It sounds like you either broke some DLLs, or that tweak ui really screwed up your system. Do you get any particular error message when you try to install or did you change ny particular setting in tweak ui?

Make sure you are using the Tweak UI that was designed for your OS. If you try to use the wrong version of Tweak UI you possibly could get some strange results.

Ok, like wizardLRU said, the windows installer dll files are messed up!!!!!!!!!! I really don't want to reformat my computer, I downloaded the windows installers for both ME/98, and NT and they say wrong OS. Does anyone know what to do? Can anyone tell me what DLL files I need and in what folder i need to put them in PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

Well in your system rig profile, it says you have Windows XP, so of course you'd need the PowerToys/TweakUI for Windows XP, here

Depending on when the problem started, I think you should try it.

It Doesn't Work, SO I guess I'm gonna have to reinstall windows! and redownload all those damn system updates!

I use system restore but it doesn't seem to restore completely, I bought a program on february 25, 2003 and I restored XP to february 13, but the program I bought on the 25th is on the computer! I'm angry!

Try the Windows file checker.

start > run > sfc /scannow
