  I have windows xp. I can't install or uninstall anything. It telling me that my computer is in safe mode (which is not the case) or my windows installer is not installed properly. I know that my Installer is 'stopped '. I tried all the steps on the Microsoft technical support. As well as other sites in an attempt to solve this problem. I tried to subscribe, unsubscribe, launches the present, which, in respect of the CDM, run something HIKEY... all, you name it. I tried to download the latest installer, that didn't work...

• I can't install or uninstall anything on Windows 7

  I'm having a really frustrating problem where I can't install or uninstall almost anything and also more updates of windows are defective.  First of all, I thought it was a problem with my hard drive, but I tried, ' chkdsk/f', "chkdsk/r", error reporting, etc.  My hard drive has 58 GB free.

  My suspicion is that this has to do with .net 4.0.  I can't uninstall it, because it just hangs.  If I try to uninstall the updates various (e.g. KB2478663), it also blocks.  If I try to install Windows Live Essentials, it fails. If I try to update iTunes, it fails.  If I try to install the drivers for my new HP printers, it fails.
  This is an error message that I get when I try to uninstall .net 4.0.
  Returned IDOK. INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR [an error occurred when writing to the installation on the drive information. [Check to make sure space is available and click Retry, or Cancel to end the installation.]
  I tried "sfc/scannow".
  Any ideas would be very useful.  In addition, any ideas on how to rule out the possibility that this is a hard drive failure would be useful.

• Can't install Itunes, get an error that the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode"

  OP: Install problems Windows

  I tried to install iTunes, but he said that "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. Call support personnel. "They gave me similar messages by other programs I've tried to install as well.

  Because I was not running Windows in safe mode in time, I assumed that the installer was not installed correctly. So I tried to download from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

  But then I got error messages like "this update does not apply to your system" and "not enough memory is available to process this command." I tried all the links and none of them worked for me. I'm running a Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and I 2.38 GB of available RAM, so I don't think that the lack of memory is the problem here. What should I do?

  1.] I had a previous version of iTunes, but I got rid of it with Revo Uninstaller.

  I was looking around and I found this: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-installation-setup/96680-repair-windows-installer-service-vista-all-versions-2.html

  I followed the direction of the last message (by F'n Vista) and changed the value of WOW64 Registry and now iTunes has installed perfectly and works now. I'll try to install other programs that I got hurt with previously. Thank you very much for your help! :)

• Can't install or uninstall anything that requires administrator-level access in Windows 7

  I searched for hours here looking for information on how to correct this problem and have not found a description of the problem that matches mine.  If the answer is already here, please forgive my lack of the needle in a haystack and point me in the right direction.  The operating system in question is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.

  First of all, the troubled computer is not mine.  It belongs to a friend.  (Norton) antivirus protection has expired some time ago and they now no protection.  I would like to uninstall this program and install a new program of antivirus protection for them.  When I Spear 'uninstall' it in program folder tells me that I have Admin Access.  The account I use is the only account never implemented and the admin account.  There is no password admin, and there is no password for the account.  I know... There are SEVERAL rules of common sense here that were broken, and I'm trying to fix all the.
  I have tried to create a new administrator account using the User Manager and have the same problem.  I saw a suggestion about the click with the right button on the choice of the menu and choosing "run as Administrator".  I have not tried yet since I'm not near the computer at this time.  I'll try to make it tonight.  Even if it works... I am always faced with the same problem of having to reactivate somehow the rights of Directors in general.
  I saw elsewhere deliver once before and ended up reloading the system.  It was riddled with viruses.  I hope that I am not against this situation.
  Thanks to the community in advance for your efforts to help me solve this puzzle and research!

  This is the only account that has ever existed and the User Manager identifies it as an administrator account.  I suspect that this account has lost its privileges admin somehow, be it corruption of any nature or virus.

  You run a show at high risk, while having one single administrator account. It's like having a key for your car. A glitch is all that it takes to create a big problem, but it is so easy to create a second admin account.

  Find it me difficult to reconcile some of the apparently contradictory statements in your report. If it was my machine, then I would do this:

  1 disable UAC
  2. restart the computer when you are prompted.
  3. click on start.
  4. type the three letters cmd in the search box and press enter
  5. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
  NET user 'Jack' xxyyzz / add
  (to create a new account named Jack with a password of xxyyzz)
  net localgroup administrators/add ' Jack'
  (to promote the account of Jack at the Admin level)
  net users
  (to see a list of all existing accounts)
  6. turn on UAC.
  7 restart and log in as Jack.
  8. check if you still have problems.
  9. If they, restart in Mode safe and check things once more.
