Foolish scarcasm, me? No.
Maybe if Microsoft would make a robust system that doesn't DOZE off, then
people would not call them M$ and Windows, WinDOZE. Maybe if the Microsoft
employees would not be insulted at what they call "foolish scarcasm" then
people would gain more respect for them! So far no Microsoft employee has
ever given me a satisfactory solution to any problem I've had with any one
of their products. All my solutions have either come from persistent trial
and error or other frustrated Microsoft customers that have previously
solved the same problems. For the sake of our rather obviously easily
insulted patriotic Microsoft employee (or wannabe employee) I will rephrase
my question.
Problem: I have Win XP Home. I tried uninstalling a piece of software and I
get "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 am
NOT running Windows in safe mode.
I tried installing a certain piece of software which claims that Windows
Installer is not installed. I tried downloading from the MS Downloads site a
version of Windows Installer that I thought was for my system, and then
several others, however the response was the same - not compatible to my OS.
I tried rebooting my computer, but nothing helps. I have constantly
downloaded the updates from Windows Update, and have no more to download -
no changes.
I need the Windows Installer to work - what do I have to do???
Pickles.
