Cannot Install Windows 7 Movie Maker on any of my machines

Know matter what I do I have been trying to install Windows 7 Movie Maker on my machines with no luck. I have tried stopping services and I am not even able to stop the services it asks me to stop. I choose to let the install tool close the programs and the list is very long. How can I get this thing to install. I am wondering if I am going to have to go into the msconfig file and figure out how to stop all the services except the one that lets me install the Windows 7 Movie Maker. Any thoughts on how to resolve this. Thank you. Consequently my Vista for Business machines do not have it on there either.

Yes sir. I have been down this road about 12 times and redefined the word crazy. Trying the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Well they should put me in the asylum now.
I check the error and this has happened even though I have full administrator rights. In fact I am the administrator. Many of the C:\Config.Msi\?????? files give me headaches. I go and look at the permissions.......and yep I am write there. In with the administrators.

I do not know what to do about this but I need the tool. Any thoughts?

You may also try to reset Windows installer by running the following commands from command prompt:

msiexec /unreg
msiexec /regserver

Do you have a Carbonite application installed maybe?

I have tried the solutions from :  nimatejic:1st & 3rd soloution not the 2nd  and  mrtky: they did not work.
I will try  nimatejic's first solution and ivanoviola's next
I have turned off the firewall.
Again the Config.msi error keeps coming up. I got no response on that. The only tools I have that might be suspect are Microsoft Security Essentials and I have Hitman Pro 3.5 and Malwarebytes.
Could those be one of the culprits?

Wow what an ordeal.
All were good answers and could have worked in a variety of situations. The one that worked best for me was Merete's version. Thank you for all the efforts.
Thankyou ruavol2 glad to have helped you out of an ordeal. I'm puzzled why these systems didnt bundle with the windows live package.
Enjoy your new software.
