According to this error code, Windows Installer isn't detected. However, Windows Installer is installed and running on my system. When the install file opens, the installer stops at "Prepairing Install" and then errors out saying the .net framework was unable to install. All system requierments are met. I am running winxp pro.

.net framework unable to install.

MSI 3.1 was "rereleased" a couple of months ago and I'm wondering if you got the first one.

Could you install at least any software that uses msiexec
I suggest you post your installation log file at Product Feedback.
I can't really figure out if its your msiexec or .net framework that has the problem...

c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver did not work either.

Have you installed previous builds of .net framework 2 maybe Beta 1 Try instaling an express beta, see if it would install correctly...

"c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver"
after running that command, try rebooting and then try installing again.

I've moved your post in Visual Studio Setup to have a better chance of being answered.
To your problem, What is the version of your Win installer try upgrading it to 3.1 via windows update. Also check the services if the Windows Installer service is running...

I guess its pretty clear that the problem lies in your Windows Installer...
Not quite good at configuring that.
(If I were you) I would consider formatting...
