Windows Installer Service ?

[gar3th]

"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if u are running in safe mode, or if the Windows installer is not correctly installed."

My disk worked fine yestaday and all I added today was Acrobat Reader and Photoshop and also ran some Service Pack 2 hotfixes using nlite to intergrate them. Now I get the above message when it trys to installed msn 6.2 or the .net framework silently.

Any ideas ?
