MSI is the normal installer, there are no other.

It's standard and should work on any computer : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Installer

The msi installer was introduced a very long time ago. You would have been unable to install FAF for over a year now.

If it worked a couple of weeks ago, why doesn't it work now?

That is a problem of your computer instead of FAF. If you're unable to read the faf msi installer, then you'd be unable to read any msi installer.

XP is dropping out of support, you should consider upgrading to at least seven.

That should come from windows 7.

That's mean that you deactivate an important service in seven :

Windows Installer.

Adds, modifies, and removes applications provided as a Windows Installer (*.msi) package. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.


Re-active it and it should be all right (you shouldn't deactivate services like that).

It's okay to put it in manual, but not in disabled.
