i posted something about installation problems regarding a piece of
software I had recently bought. I have seen certain programs on the
internet, and they are used for uninstalling. Do they have any
software for installing something, so it will install right?

Please reply.. thanks!

Unfortunately, almost certainly not. Installing requires information
about what files need to go where, which requires explicit outside
knowledge about whatever software is being installed. On the other
hand, uninstalling only requires knowledge about what files are actually
where, which can be determined from the system as it currently exists.

(This is, of course, ignoring the install programs that come packaged
with the software. Those are really pretty much what you're thinking
of, but if they don't work or a particular bit of software doesn't come
with one, then there aren't really any other options.)
