Это связано с тем, что в операционной системе нарушена работоспособность Windows Installer-а
Запустите проверку системных файлов командой sfc /scannow
Для проверки понадобится диск с дистрибутивом операционной системы.
Командная строка должна быть запущена от имени администратора

How to fix «Windows Installer package DLL» problem when you try to uninstall a program
The following error appeared on a customer’s computer when we tried to uninstall a nasty program named “SavingsBullFilter” (or “SavingsBull”) : “There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor”.
The error probably appeared because the program installation was corrupted or after performing a malware cleaning procedure on the same computer, without prior uninstalling it from Windows. For that reason, we installed the unwanted program again in order to try to uninstall it again from Windows Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs). But the “Windows Installer package..DLL could not be run” error message appeared again during the uninstallation progress. After some tests, we finally found the following solution to bypass the “ Windows Installer package..DLL could not be run ” problem:
How to resolve the “Windows Installer package problem…DLL required “ error when you try to uninstall a program from your computer

8. Wait until “Microsoft Fix portable” tool is downloaded and saved to your computer.
9. Finally read the instructions on how to use the “Fix it portable” tool and press the “Finish” button.
Step 2. How to use “Fix it portable” tool to bypass the “Windows Installer package DLL” uninstallation error.
1. Navigate to the location where you saved the “Fix it Portable” utility (e.g. your “Desktop”) and open the “Fix it Portable” folder.
2. Double-click to run at the “Launch Fix it” application.
3. At the first screen click at the “Install or upgrade software or hardware” option…
5. At the first screen click at the “Detect problems and apply the fixes for me (Recommended)” option.
6. Choose the “Uninstalling” option.
7. Select the unwanted program that you want to uninstall (e.g. “SavingsFilter” in our example) and press “Next”.
8. Press the “Yes, try uninstall” option and wait until “Fix it Portable” tool fixes your problem.
9. At the “Troubleshooting is complete” screen, review the “Fix status” (e.g. Fixed) and then press the “Next” button.
10. At the last window, check the “Yes, the problem has been fixed” option and choose “Next”.
10. Close the “Program install and Uninstall troubleshooter” utility.
11. Finally navigate to “Add/Remove programs” (Programs and Features) in your control panel to ensure that the unwanted program is not listed anymore on the Installed programs list.*
Notice*: If the unwanted program keeps appearing on the programs list, then select it and press the “Uninstall” button. Normally (this time) the uninstallation process should be completed without errors.
[FIXED] Error 1720 “There is a problem with this Windows Installer package”
Are you looking for solutions on how to get rid of the Error 1720 in Windows 10 Installer? Well, you’ve come to the right page. Windows users have been complaining about encountering this error on several occasions on their computers. The Windows Installer performs some of the most critical tasks on the operating system, such as program installation, software removal, and maintenance.
The installer is packed with registry keys, shortcuts, and other metadata and usually carries out its functions without issues. The thing is, errors can occur randomly. You may receive the following message:
“There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run.”
What Is the Error 1720 on Windows 10?
The “Error 1720: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package” can be triggered by registry issues. The error appears to affect Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 machines and pops up when a software update/upgrade or installation fails. It also appears when users try to uninstall programs.
The most annoying thing is that the error can be quite resilient and can interfere with your daily tasks. Fortunately, the error is temporary and can easily be fixed by the workarounds in this post.
How to Fix ‘There Is a Problem with this Windows Installer Package’ on Windows 10
Solution 1: Be Sure to Run the Installer with Administrative Permissions
Installing any third-party application requires administrative permissions for the process to succeed. This is a standard requirement on all Windows machines that gives you more control over what gets installed on your device. It’s a preventive measure that helps to keep applications from installing in the background. It also helps prevent the installation of malware.
Now, you might not have the proper permissions to install the program that triggered the Error 1720. Well, you can resolve it by running the installer as an administrator. Here’s how:
That’s it. If the issue was caused by a lack of administrator rights, this should fix it. If not, try the next troubleshooting step below.
Solution 2: Re-Download the Installer and Setup Files
You can also temporarily disable your antivirus software and try to run the installer. However, this is a risky move unless you are 100 percent certain that the application is trustworthy. One more thing. Be sure your system meets the minimum requirements to run the program. Otherwise, the entire process will fail again.
Solution 3: Run the Troubleshooter
Windows 10 comes with troubleshooting tools to help find and fix common computer problems. Usually, you’ll find the Troubleshoot option in the Settings app under this path:
Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.
Alternatively, you can open Control Panel and type “Troubleshoot” (no quotes) in the Search Control Panel input box.
However, the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter is not listed here, and you’ll have to download it to proceed with this process. Here are the steps:
Solution 4: Install Pending Windows Updates
The Error 1720 could be caused by a buggy Windows Installer. Typically, Windows releases updates periodically to address buggy updates and improve system performance. That’s why you’re always encouraged to keep your system up to date.
To check if there are pending Windows updates for your system, follow the guide below:
Restart your Windows PC and try running the installer again. If you’re still getting the error, proceed to the next fix.
Solution 5: Check Windows Installer for Errors
If Windows Installer is corrupted or disabled by mistake, you won’t be able to install anything on your machine. You need to make sure that it’s working accordingly. To do that:
Solution 6: Re-Register Windows Installer
If the previous step shows a Windows Installer error report, you must re-register it to get rid of those errors, and hence the Error 1720. Follow these instructions for guidance:
Solution 7: Restart the Windows Installer Service
Like we noted above, you or someone else may have disabled Windows Installer unintentionally. To check this fact and restart it, follow these steps:
Solution 8: Re-Register the Scrrun.dll File
Scrrun.dll is the Scripting Runtime DLL (Dynamic Link Library) file responsible for reading and writing scripts and text files. It’s essential for your Windows machine to run properly and enables the installer to function accordingly. If it stops working, Windows Installer ceases to run correctly. We’ll attempt to fix Windows Installer by re-registering the scrrun.dll file.
Here are the steps:
Scan Your Registry for Issues
If none of these solutions gets rid of the Error 1720 in Windows 10 Installer, we recommend scanning the registry for corruption and other issues. We mentioned at the beginning of this article that registry problems are mainly to blame for Windows Installer errors. We understand trying to identify corrupt keys or broken entries in such a vast database is nearly impossible.
That’s why we suggest an automatic repair tool like Auslogics BoostSpeed Registry Cleaner.
This application detects and fixes registry issues, stabilizing your PC. It’s safe, fast, and reliable. You don’t have to worry about the wrong keys or entries being deleted since the tool is designed to work with precision.
