Many people have reported getting "Windows Installer Not Responding" errors when trying to install a wide variety of programs.
The bug (and the initial fixes) was reported Link Removed due to 404 Error, among many places. Then a few hours later, Link Removed due to 404 Error (who found the original bug) made this second discovery; Microsoft has now acknowledged the problem and provided the solution through the Action Center.
Follow the directions on the Link Removed due to 404 Error or go via regedit and delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions.
Posts on TechNet and other reliable forums all report of success installing everything from Adobe, Java and even games that had failed to load previously.
