Windows Installer Ends Prematurely

Hi all.

Hopefully someone has an idea of how to fix this. When attempting to install programs I keep getting a notification that the Windows Installer and ended prematurely.

I've unregistered and re-registered the service, checked that the service is running. I have also run an integrity check on the system and everything appears to be fine.

This one has me stumped.

    Would you mind share the name of the program?
    Are you using Windows 11?
    Does it work in the previous version of Windows?

      Thanks for responding.

      I have tested it with several programs, none of them will currently install. The specific program is DB Browser for SQLite.

      I am indeed using Windows 11, and it had worked in prior versions of Windows -and- Windows 11. This is a very recent problem.

        Try run Windows Update and download and install all updates.
        Open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.
        Try restart your PC and try again.
        Try performing a Clean Boot and see if the problem persists?
        Have a look at:
