• Windows Installer is corrupt on my Vista computer

  Title of the Moose: Windows Installer is corrupt or deleted on my computer. I tried to re-installing/repair Vista SP2 and Windows Installer 4.5 - or will be installed.

  Hi Please help... I can't install anything on my "puta.  I can't run a recovery as all my records are stored.  I spent two hours of Microsoft technical support who could not stop talking.  There must be a way I can either crazy, the system to uninstall and reinstall SP2.  Because it's the installer that is affected, nothing else can install or uninstall.

  I tried to go into computer and manage and Services but by clicking 'Start' on Windows install would not work because it has lost the thread.

  Very grateful for any help that I can not get my work without the program I want to install!

  Cheers, Sara

  Hello Sara Star,.

  I suggest that you try to run a SFC/scannow to address all of the corrupted system files?
  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Reboot your system.

  However, if there are corrupted files, found, most of the time you're going to need your installation CD to repair the files.

  If this does not help, you must do an upgrade and repair the installation. If your installation CD is not available, see if you can borrow a Vista CD from a friend to fix it.

  Please reply back and let us know if this can help.

• BlackBerry Smartphone Windows Installer appears when I turn on computer

  I have a blackberry pearl 8110 Rogers and Desktop Manager 5.0.1

  Since then every time I turn on the computer, I downloaded the Desktop Manager, I get the windows box install that says "preparing to install - please wait when windows configures Roxio Media Manager.

  Further messages coming up to say...

  "Gathering of the information... the component you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable... "

  Hello!

  I suggest the following steps (reboot insert a lot of restarting your PC... not only restarts, but at full power down). In addition, it is recommended that you are connected to the PC on an account with full administrator rights. In addition, Vista, use the option "Run As Administrator" for everything.

  (1) properly uninstall the RIM DTM software:

• corrupted Windows Installer

  I tried services.msc, but had no choice to restart what will I do

  I have no idea where engaged Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert' is happening with these ideas and links - they don't make sense to me, but I'm not a committed Microsoft 'expert '.

  Also, you don't have symptoms consistent with a need to run the System File Checker.  When they suggest that interprets it as meaning "I don't know what the problem is or how to fix it.

  You must help us to understand what you mean by:

  corrupt windows installer

  And what it means:

  I tried services.msc, but had no choice to restart what will I do

  If you see an error message, what does exactly and when you see, and as usual we know nothing on your system, as well as conduit to guess.

  Here is a fairly popular example of an error message Windows Installer can be what you see:

  When you try to install a program or by clicking on the button 'Edit' or 'Delete' in Add / Remove programs on an application already installed, you see a message like this:

  Windows Installer may be damaged or your computer is in safe mode

  or maybe this message:

  The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
  This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team.

  First do the following:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  services.msc

  Click OK to open the Services applet.

  Look in the Services applet to see if the Windows Installer Service is still listed and you will find that it is probably not (but it should be).

  If the Windows Installer Service is listed, make sure it is not disabled and if it is disabled, change the startup type to manual.  You can't set it to automatic as it will start on its own when he needs start and you don't need it starts every time that you restart your system and execution of all the day when there is nothing to do.

  The Service will start when they need start if she is able to start.  Enough-click OK to save your changes and close the Services applet, reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick' and see how things look now.

  If the Windows Installer Service is completely absent from the Services, you must add it as follows:

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter these commands one at a time by clicking on the OK button for each:

  msiexec /Unregister (or you can type: msiexec /unreg)
  msiexec/regserver

  Click OK after each command (there is no message about what happened)

  Check in the Services applet again to see if the Windows Installer Service is now listed, and the startup type is set to manual, reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick' and see how things look now.

• I have a compac using XP. I get "your windows installer is installed correctly" when I try to unimstall a program. That's happened? How can I get the installer working properly?

  I can't get the uninstall program to work properly in 'install/remove '.  I am told "windows install is installed incorrectly or it is in safe mode.  Another problem is that I can not transfer files on a CD.  I don't know if these issues are related.  I don't know enough to find the offending element.  Someone at - it response - I can fix it myself, or something I can download from Microsoft?
  Thank you.

  That is what the message really says or does mean something like these examples:

  When you try to install a program or by clicking on the button 'Edit' or 'Delete' in Add / Remove programs on an application already installed, you see a message like this:

  Windows Installer may be damaged or your computer is in safe mode

  or maybe this message:

  The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
  This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team.

  If the Windows Installer Service is lack of Services, you must add it as follows:

  Click Start, run, and in the box enter these commands one at a time by clicking on the OK button for each:

  msiexec /Unregister (or you can type: msiexec /unreg)
  msiexec/regserver

• Whenever I try to scan a windows installer opens, finally I get error 1706

  Windows Installer keeps opening every time that I use my scanner, he said first install windows configures scan then comes up with a box that says: "the feature you are trying to use is on a CD-RoM... then when I cancel what happens with error 1706.» I have never had a problem with my HP Officejet 7410 all-in-one and was able to analyze things without this box to install windows popping up. I have already contacted HP and they did not help. Can I use the scanner if I continue to by cancelling the boxes, but it's boring because it keeps coming back. My original CD was for XP and I had to download a new driver for Vista last year when I got my new computer. It was working fine, but I don't have any other software other than the driver that is Vista. Like I said what is happening just started. Help, please. I already did the Malware, anti spy, scanned with McAfee, cleaned the registry and made a Super disk cleanup and Defragmenter.

  I've tried and it works, thank you anyway. I had to discuss again with HP, who, incidentally, did not save my last conversation. I had to download another earlier version and get rid of my old, which is the most recent driver. All this because of Vista. Let's see how long this lasts until something does not work.

• Failure of laptop on startup after windows live update automatically rebooted the computer to install updates.

  Hello

  I have an Acer Aspire 5315 with Vista installed on it. It will now not load since the update live windows rebooted the computer last week.

  When the computer is turned on, it loads a page saying Windows Error Recovery. under the present is said: could not start windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to solve the problem: 1 insert the windows installation disc, and then restart the computer, 2. choose your language settings and then click on 'next', 3 click on "repair your computer".

  then he said, other options: If food was interuppted when booting, choose start windows normally. It then gives the other options such as safe mose and last known good configuration.

  I tried selecting start windows normally and safe mode, but it just goes to the windows boot manager with: cannot start windows. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to solve the problem: 1 insert the windows installation disc, and then restart the computer, 2. choose your language settings and then click on 'next', 3 click on "repair your computer".

  and then there: file: ntoskrnl.exe, status: 0xc0000098, Info: windows failed to load because a required file is missing or damaged

  I hope that you will be able to give me a little help because I do not have the windows installation disc. I'm pretty much at my wits end now and start to pull on my hair!

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

• Windows could not start during windows installation

  Recently, I had a number of issues of windows 7 on my computer with other things and I decided that it would be appropriate to do a complete reinstall of windows 7. I plugged my windows 7 installation cd and went to the installation. I deleted the partition of hard disk OS to remove my broken version earlier Windows 7 and made a new partition to install my new windows 7. I've been installing windows 7 and he said that it might take to restart my computer several times to complete the installation. The problem is that when it restarts, it is not actually proceed with the installation. Instead, it immediately opens a window of windows error recovery in the BIOS. The description is "windows did not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc, and then restart your computer. 2. choose your language settings, and then click Next. 3. click on repair your computer. "I then followed the instructions but when I did the repair your computer option, I tried but it says that this startup repair couldn't fix it automatically. I then tried to reboot in safe mode, and he went to the installation screen of windows as if he was about to continue installing windows, but then he said that I was in safe mode and I had to be in normal mode to continue the installation of windows 7. So now, I have only a part of windows 7 is installed.

  If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

• Corrupted Windows Installer on the new Windows 7 laptop

  I recently bought a new Dell Studio laptop, running Windows 7 (64-bit).  It is my first experience with this new version of Windows.  After search for and resolve a number of issues, I have still a few that I can't get rid of, and all these point to a corrupt Windows Installer (for example, when you try to install Windows Mobile Device Center, I get a dialog box saying "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.  This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly.  Contact your assistance support team. ».  As is my personal laptop at home, I have no support staff).  I saw a number of detailed instructions on how to fix this in XP and Vista, but nothing specific to 7.  And when I try to find the correct file to download on the Microsoft site, all the ones I looked at seems to say that they are not compatible with my system.  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

  First of all, make sure you have Windows Installer installed:

  1. right click on an empty area of the taskbar, and select Task Manager.
  2. click on the Services tab in top then Services button at the bottom.
  3. see if you can find the Windows Installer service and if its started.

  .. .on mine in manual/stopped.

  If its missing or damaged for some reason, try to see if a SFC scan will fix it:

  1. click on start-> Accessories then do a right click on command prompt.
  2. Select run as administrator.
  3. type SFC/scannow
  4. a scan that will take a few minutes to complete turns on. If possible SFC will be auto-fix any problem files.

  I hope someone has a suggestion for this problem... I just bought a new laptop and Windows 7 Professional came installed on it.

  Thank you

  Linney thanks for your response!

  The file I'm trying to install is an exe file (so the SIG file is embedded in the exe file).

  I tried the option "Run As Administrator" and it did not work.  However, you gave me an idea that has provided a work around that allowed me to install the program.

  Once this dialog box is displayed with all the control switches, rather than press 'OK', I left on the screen and went in the 'temp' folder and find the MSI program I tried to install (I cross referenced the timestamp of when I tried to install it to find).

  Once I found the updated file, I clicked it, and he proceeded to install the program... I have not had any other problems with the installation.

  So, there's something wrong with the way that the exe file have been created and how the files extracted from the msi file (these are files of Intel and Lenovo - driver updates - so I think they do these things) or there is a problem with Windows Installer.

  For now, at least, I have a work around I use until I find a solution to this problem of permanent

  Thanks for your help and for taking the time to answer!

  I hope this can help someone else in the future

• I can't install Windows XP SP3. Windows Installer of my computer is buggy and I can't fix it.

  Title really says it all, but I guess I can go into the details here.  I'm trying to update my PalmOne M505 to work with Windows XP.  I have the .exe file.  It uses Windows Installer to install so I can read my M505 with XP.  Problem: Windows Installer is completely planted on my computer for some reason any.

  On a related note, I can't install updates; probably due to the installer of Windows being broken.  I followed the instructions on the page to support to the letter (and the number!), but it does not solve anything.  I could use a little help...

  Even if someone does that send me some kind of update package that does not use Windows Installer...

  And on a side note, what the bajeezus, I chose not only as my profile name!  It should be "Kaos_Lord!"

  Note 2: it is fixed?

  What the heck!  It is an error to Windows XP!  I did not in the Windows 7 forum.

  [This forum is for discussions specific to Windows Update on Win7, Vista, and Windows XP, despite what you see at the top of the page or in the URL. Yes, it's @# $% & confusing! [What were they thought?]

  Backup of personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then do a format and clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or a network otherwise and before using a USB key that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:
