You need to do what it says and use Windows Update to get the latest version of Windows Installer.

Well if Windows Update isn't working then you need to look into it because it's important to keep your system up-to-date.

For Windows XP you need the WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe WindowsServer2003-KB942288-v4-x86.exe
