Windows Installer doesn't work properly

[dylanrigobertobustos]

I'm running windows 10, and when i want to install a program that uses Windows Installer, it just doesn't work, stays in 0%, which has prevented me from installing programs like VirtualBox, and every program that uses windows installer.

see if this helps

right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

do you mean Install-shield? not the exact error but see if 2 helps, updating installshield might fix it - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/910816/microsoft-games-installshield-error-messages
