Can't install photoshop elements 12 since it can't start windows installer

[MyPhoto]

Hi,

I have got a new PC and now try installing my Photoshop Elements 12. The installation program tries to start Windows installer:

Sorry the message is in Swedish. In English it would probably be "It was impossible to access the service Windows Installer. This can happen if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact the company's support for further help.

I tried searching for downloads of Windows Installer, but there's no download version for Windows 7.

Is there anybody else who faced such problem? How have you solved it?

TIA
