in some cases when you try to install windows fax your installation cant continue or stops suddenly, below mentioned solution tried and tested by me (at client place) after doing this i can successfully install windows fax. to do this follow these steps.

1. click start and run
2. type esentutl /p %windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb and press enter
3. after pressing enter it will open warning message and allowing you two options, ok or cancel
4. dont worry , click ok
5. when finish, try to install windows fax again, the installation will continue with no problems.

additional - for the above problem, re-registering the cfgmgr32.dll file could also solve the problem, to learn how to register dll file please see this post.
