In attempting to install programs, I receive an error message stating
"Unable
to install program. Windows Installer either missing, in safe mode, or
corrupted." When I look in Services for the Installer progran, it is listed
as Manual and is not started. This happens regardless of the program I am
attempting to install or modify (update).
