- Disk Check: A simple tool that checks for disk errors and suggests repair actions.
- Registry Cleaner: Tools like CCleaner, Windows Disk Cleanup, or Regedit can help clean up registry entries that might be causing issues with the installation process.

To use these tools:
- Open a Command Prompt or PowerShell as an administrator.
