Windows Installer errror.. Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 

My computer is not allowing me to install or uninstall any programs. Its giving a pop-up while I am trying to uninstall a program, The pop-up looks like

"The windows installer service cannot be accessed, this can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personel for assistance." 

Even I tried restoring the system, But I couldn't even find the restore option here.

So what should I do now, Please help

Thanks,
ravi.
