Internal error 2501, 2502 or 2503 or combination of these may occur. Whatever, above screenshots are taken when i got these error messages while i  was trying to install NVIDIA 3D vision video player in my computer. The error message is as follows:

The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2503. (or 2502 or 2501).

You will be given an OK button which when pressed causes the installation (or uninstallation) to terminate. The Microsoft installer alleges problems with the package. But the problem is actually with Windows. This can be simply solved or fixed by a very simple trick. I'll tell you how to solve the error.:
