Re: Windows Installer Service

The history of my proboem is this. When attempting to down load the coupon
printer from the "coupon .Com" site my Norton anti virus became corrupted. I
worked the issue with Norton which had me delete their software. They sent me
a CD to reinstall it. Reinstallation gives me error messages. Next they had
me reinstall the Microsoft Windows Installer per one of their trouble
shooting menues. This required the down loading of Windows
Installer-KB893803-v2-x86.exe and its installation. Everyting seemed to go
fine with a successful installation but the problem persisted. I then checked
the Microsoft Help and Support and ran across article # 315346 where the
error message, I was receiving, was exactly as shown in the article. I
followed the steps for reinstalling the Windows Installer first with no
success. In this process they had me go into the cmd prompt and rename three
files, msi.dll, msiexec.exe and msihnd.dll. I received messages that these
files already existed or could not be found. I completed this process as per
the instructions anyway with no success. I then tried the Reregistering of
the Windows Installer second with no success. Next I tried this venue.

did to try to fix this problem.

OPPS. Left the space out. Ok. I put it in and got the same error message.
However, isn't there a way to fix this thing for the whole computer
instead
of file by file?

Tried your suggestion. Unfortunately, I got the same error message as
with
Andrews suggestion. An error message saying that "Windows Cannot find
regsve32/......"

Just like I said. Start/Run type regsvr32 /u file name you want to
unregister
To register the file retype regsvr32 and file name you want to
register.

Sorry PaulM but I find your response confusing. Can you be more
clear?

Its regsvr32 /u then the file name to unregister the file
then just regsvr32 and file name to register the file.
