Hello Robert,

Thank you for your reply.

You may try the following steps:

Run Registry Editor:
                                
1. Click "Start", and then click "Run".
2. In the "Open" box, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks), and
then click "OK".
3. Locate and click the following registry key:
                                                         
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer".

4. In the right pane of Registry Editor, double-click "ImagePath".
5. In the "Edit String" dialog box, make sure the string in the "Value
data" box contains the correct path to the Msiexec.exe file. The following
is the correct path, where <C> is the drive in which Windows is installed:
                
<C>:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe /V

6. On the "File" menu, click "Exit" to exit Registry Editor.
7. Start your computer in Safe Mode.
8. Register the Msiexec.exe file:
                                                         
a. Log on to the computer.
b. Click "Start", and then click "Run".
c. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /regserver" (without the quotation
marks), and then click "OK".

9. Shut down your computer, and then restart your computer as usual.

I hope the information proves helpful.

If you have any other issues, please feel free to let me know. I am glad to
be of assistance.

Have a nice day!

Thanks and regards,

Alex Zhang

| Hello Alex

Unfortunately this doesn't work. This is the standard answer that I've come
across a hundred times in the last week. It's the normal answer Microsoft
will provide in their tech online.

I also came across some other rare information which describes how the
ROOT_CLASSES in the registry need SYSTEM priveledges, how the boot
partition needs SYSTEM privs, how to check the RPC server, how to
re-install the service, how to make sure the service has proper login
priveledges, etc. I've spent a good week trying to solve this problem but
the problem persists. For example, Windows 2003 places additional
restrictions on the Windows Installer Service and its runtime logon
privledges, which could sort of make sense on a Windows 2000 to 2003
upgrade (much of the security has been tightened up for 2003 as I've found
out).

I would need a non-stock answer to describe the very basic requirements of
letting the Windows installer run. From reading other online FAQs, and
digging deeper into Microsoft online help, I know that there are a number
of additional requirements beyond the basic quick fix of the previous
message.

Thanks for your consideration.
