The Windows Installer threw up an error when you tried to install it ?
I fail to see where in the MSKB article it tells you to reinstall
Windows Installer.

The Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Registration Correction Tool creates a
log after it's run.
Go to Start > Run > copy and paste the below into the Open: line and
then click OK or press Enter:

%temp%\dd_clwireg.txt

dd_clwireg.txt will now be open.
Copy and paste the contents of the log into your reply, please.
