Installation Fails: Installation Ended Prematurely Because of an Error In Windows 10/8/7 [Tutorial]

Windows Powershell Commands:
msiexec /unreg
msiexec /regserver

Command Prompt:

When installing or reinstalling a program if you receive an error saying — Fatal error, Installation fails, Installation ended prematurely because of an error, then it’s mostly because of something which may be left behind by the previous uninstallation – and that is causing this problem. When programs uninstall, they leave behind files, and if the uninstallation wasn’t complete, it would result in such error.

Installation ended prematurely because of an error is a generic error which can occur with any software installation or reinstallation. So the solutions we suggest here works for similar issues.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems.Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

And mine is greyed out so can't do anything with windows installer properties. I guess it didn't matter because the service was already running. This fixed my problem trying to install Perl. Thanks.
