Please don't use all caps.
Assuming that you really are NOT in safe mode (does your screen say
"safe mode" at the top?), see
"The Windows Installer Service Could Not Be Accessed" error message when
you install a program in Windows XP

If you still have problems, before doing a Repair re-installation of
Windows XP as suggested in step 7, see
How to resolve Common "Windows Installer" Problems

Rather than the link to MSDN downloads, it's easier to find the latest
version of MS Windows Installer here:
Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
