I followed your instructions on how to repair Windows Installer but it didnt work. I still get the same error "cant connect to "e:/\pictures"...this has both slashes and can see that there is no such directory but i need to remove this step so that the installer works. I get this error message when trying to install 2 different programs (Adobe Reader and Cyberlink YouCam). I did not find all the places you mentioned in the Regedit stage.
