The error message for the cleanup util says:
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. 
This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if the Windows 
Installer is not correctly installed. 
Contact your support personnel for assistance.
I cleared the messages from the Event Viewer. When I went into Internet 
Explorer, the following events showed up:
Warning 11/8/2004 1:59:43 PM MsiInstaller None 1015 Suanne YOUR-7D00F3DE36
Warning 11/8/2004 1:59:42 PM MsiInstaller None 1001 NETWORK 
SERVICE YOUR-7D00F3DE36
There were a total of 40 events - most of them said the same as the first 
line above. A few were the second.
Thank you.
