Do you have Windows Installer 3.1 installed?

I've noticed that MSI packages won't usually install if DCOM server process service is disabled - and of course Windows Installer service needs to be running as well.

Does Event Viewer show anything else?

Yes i have it installed

Application popup: Konfabulator - InstallShield Wizard: MSIEXEC.EXE - Application Error : The instruction at "0x0015ffe6" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "written".

Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program

Faulting application msiexec.exe, version 3.1.4000.1289, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0015ffe6.

This site is about all I can add to your problem: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q315346

You might also consider running MemTest86.

MemTest86: http://www.memtest86.com/
Put MemTest on a floppy, and boot your coputer from that floppy. The test takes hours to run, but as soon as you see memory errors, then you know the memory has issues, then you can stop the test, and replace any bad memory.

After doing the memory check, no problems with the memory, saw the website did everything, still the same error

why is that?
thanks
