I,m having a problem installing programs created with msi. They won't install, also they have a blank icon beside the *.msi file. Ive tried re-installing MSI but I get the message "this service is already installed". When I try to associate the program with msi, I get the message about having the wrong command line parameters. Can you help

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Msi.Package\shell\Open\command]
@="\"%SystemRoot%\\System32\\msiexec.exe\" /i \"%1\" %*"
Although the above entry should be "REG_EXPAND_SZ" - I've converted it to "REG_SZ" so you can read it.
The following commands should also do the trick:
Assoc .msi=Msi.Package
Ftype Msi.Package="%SystemRoot%\System32\msiexec.exe" /i "%1" %*
@="\"%SystemRoot%\\System32\\msiexec.exe\" /i \"%1\" %*"
