having trouble installing some software. Have been trying to download the new Apple Safari browser and after down loading, and trying to install, the following measage comes up:"The windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are using windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance" What does this mean!! Assistance would be much appreciated
