Windows Installer Stuck at some preparations parts

 Today I worked on a very annoying problem, the Windows Installer just stop working when we try to install some product of Symantec .. what ever you try to install. 
After 2 weeks of trying to fix it by CheckPoint and SecureNet, I got the chance to try solve this problem by my self, I managed to find it, if you have really strange problems with Windows Installer and you tried all ready the Windows Installer Cleanup Tool .. just copy the "magic" file called "MsiZap.exe" from the Windows Support Tools to the "System32" or at the installation folder, when you copy it you should run the MsiZap.exe with the "g" switch.
Example: "MsiZap.exe g" just like this.

By the way, just search "msizap.exe windows installer" at google and you can find really nice info about this tool ..
