Re: Windows Installer Does Not Run

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I receive no error messages when I start the service. Is it tied ti the
Backgroiund Intelligent Transfer Service? That one does not start, and says
"File cannot be found" when attempting to start it, and "Win32 access denied"
when looking at the dependencies.

Thank you for your help.

Ed,

What happens when you start the service (clicking the Start button in
Services.msc applet). Any error messages?

I have performed all of the steps you outlined, but when the system reboots,
the Installer again shows as manual and does not start.

I've re-registered the msiexec.exe program, and have renamed and reinstalled
Windows Installer 3.1. Both repair attempts do not work.

Thanks.

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).
