When trying to install Windows Cleanup Utility (msicuu2.exe) this error message appears.  I'm trying to install Java but get the Java Setup error 1723: There is a problem with this windows installer package.  A DLL required for this install to conplete could not be run....

I have Windows Home Premium and it looks like I have the Windows Installer-Unicode Version 5.0.7600.16385 

Any steps to fix would be most appreciated.

    somehow ,

    after do everything above, it still not work..

    try this...

    your software package maybe contain the "cscript.exe" and as a wrong version vs your Windows

    find out it, rename or remove the cscript.exe from the software package.

    and SYSTEM will execute the currect version automatically.

    that's great^^

    May it help.

    Aha!  My HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32 (Default) had a leftover dll from recently-uninstalled   Avast virus scanner.

    As admin, changed HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32 permissions to allow updating, then replaced the (Default) value with 

    C:\Windows\system32\vbscript.dll
