msiexe not found anywhere

Hello!

I have a Toshiba laptop
Satellite L775D, sorry thats all the specs i know about it.

So I was trying to install Company of Heroes but I keep getting the message saying there was a problem with my windows installer and to contact customer support.

I have tried registering and unregistering it but when I run it under cmd it says that it can't even find the file. I looked to see if it was in the right place but I cant even find the msiserver part in the registery list. I have been online hours looking for ways to fix it and I have been coming up short. I also did the /sfc in cmd and it said there were corrupt files found that it could not fix.

Any ideas? I did the same with minecraft and that gave me the same message.

echo > 0 & sc qc msiserver >> 0 & sc queryex msiserver >> 0 & echo >> 0 & notepad 0 press enter

Hi it appears msiexec is missing, have a look in recycle bin first, if there restore. Do you have a copy of the os dvd?
