Solution 1: Download a new ESET installation package

    ESET NOD32 Antivirus: 

    Download ESET NOD32 Antivirus

    ESET Smart Security: 

    Download ESET Smart Security

    NOTE:

    Make sure to choose Save instead of Run when downloading the installer file. If a warning appears informing you that the installer file already exists, click Yes to confirm the download and replace the damaged file. 

  2. After you have saved the file to your computer, locate and double-click it to re-try the installation process.

If you receive the same error message, the Windows Installer service may need to be re-registered. Please proceed to Solution 2.
 

Solution 2: Re-register the Windows Installer service
