You might be getting the error message if the Windows Installer service is disabled or not running. To check the status of Windows Installer, follow these steps:

Press Windows key + R, type services.msc in the search field, and press Enter.

Scroll down and find the Windows Installer service. Double-click Windows Installer in the Services list.

Ensure that the Windows Installer service is running.

Right-click Windows Installer, and then click Start. If Start is unavailable and the Stop and Restart options are available, this tells you that the service is already started.
