Repairs 20 -> Does not repair MSI (Error 1714). Please fix this bug WR 2018.
Surely you will not help again?  :angry:

Windows 7 64-bit

Windows Installer Clean-Up Utility
It does not work on the Windows 7 64-bit version, but the WR tool should be improved to make 20-> repair MSI

- WR repairs (or tries to) the MSI system itself. It won't help to repair when the error (e.g. Error 1714) is caused by the installation of a program.
- The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility has been "discontinued" some years ago because of the problems it caused on Windows systems.
- You can try the program "WICleanup" tool.

- But the tool also removes other *.msi files in the C:\Windows\Installer\ (sub-)folders.
