Contact your support personnel or package vendor.  Action regsvr32.exe_4, location: C:\WINNT\Installer\MSI20.tmp, command: /u /s "C:\Programme\ISIS\CoSMIC\\bin\PackageComponent.dll"

Are you upgrading from CoSMIC-0.0.1 by any chance?  I just tried upgrading
from CoSMIC-0.0.2 to CoSMIC-0.4.2, and it worked fine.  Upgrading from
CoSMIC-0.0.1 is known to be broken.  In that case, just try to uninstall
the old version separately.  If that fails, install the following utility,

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~kitty/msicuu2.exe

which will help you blow away your registry entries corresponding to the
broken version of CoSMIC.  Then you should be able to install
CoSMIC-0.4.2.
