Thanks everyone! I solved my problem! Well, I thought it was the problem of
Norton Antivirus since I had an old version 7.5. So I removed it and tried to
reinstall that, but then noticed that Windows Installer not working anymore.
Even after I uninstalled APC Powerchute, still had problem with Windows
Installer. Then I found Q319624 and I used method 1 which solved my problem.
