Question:
What can I do about the message "InstallShield for Windows is unable to start. Ensure that the Windows Installer engine has been installed properly" while attempting to install Delphi?
Answer
There is a utility called instmsiw.exe that comes on the Delphi CD. Run this (by double clicking it) and this will reinstall the Microsoft Installer on your machine.
