This recommendations helped me: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
In short, they recommend to open Regedit (Press Start->type in search "Regedit"), then find the following registry keys and delete them:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\PendingXmlIdentifier
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\NextQueueEntryIndex
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving

On my PC there was only PendingXmlIdentifier one. This stopped the TrustedInstaller.exe crashes and helped to solve the problem.

Also, there is an article by chentiangemalc here that describes another cause of crashing and more detailed way to investigate and solve the problem http://chentiangemalc.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/case-of-the-totally-broken-trustedinstaller/

Hope this will also help you.
