MSI Re-install

The Microsoft Installer for my Windows XP machine has
gone bad. I can't seem to install anything. I get a
windows error message saying that MSIEXEC.EXE could not
complete. I don't want to have to re-install Windows
completely.

Any suggestions on how I could just reload the installer?

Thanks in advance!
