Error 1721 occurring when trying to uninstall software on Windows Server 2008 Standard

I am trying to uninstall a program and am receiving an error message 1721 indicating "There is a problem with the Windows Installer Package.  A program for required for this install could not be run."

I'm having trouble getting help from the package vendor so I was wondering if this might be a windows permission issue or something else this community could help me with.

Restart your computer in safe mode.
then run these commands from command prompt:
msiexec /unregister
and
msiexec /regserver
Exit

Now you can remove the software  ..

Are you able to install any other packages in the same format? Like msi or exe.
