• Windows Installer has stopped working on Vista Ultimate 64 - bit SP2

  Hello

  My Windows Installer has stopped working all of a sudden (probably common last week).  I get no error message at all.  It simply doesn't get it.  The programs can be installed and uninstalled by there own systems updated, but the changes are not reflected in "programs and features".  When I ask Windows Installer to run under programs and features, I get the usual verification pop-ups, but once I click on the last approval, nothing happens.

  I tried to install a new Windows Installer from the Microsoft Download site and each time, the program "check updates" and I get an error message that says "this update does not apply to your version," (to paraphrase).  I tried to install Windows 6.0, v-2, x 64, but when it does not work I tried all (LOL) with the same result.

  At first I thought that my computer can was struck by a malicious code, so I ran MSE, remove malicious software (FULL) Windows for January and Advanced System Care 3.  All scans is come-up 100% clean!

  I tried to restore my computer to a point 3 days does not.  As Murphy's law would have, I disabled the restore before January 12 points.

  Windows Update online might work.  I get notifications for optional updates for MSE and AFAIK, they are applied.

  Edit: One more important thing, the uninstall on Advanced System Care 3 feature does more either.  It's almost like the hooks to the installer of Windows have been removed to that also.

  Installation service seems to be very well and the value 'manual '.

  Any thoughts on the subject?  I can reload Windows from "day 1", but would rather not.  Laughing out loud.  I have my drive so.  :-)

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  However if I go in "C:\Windows\System32" and run the msiexec.exe which is where I get:

  "Windows Installer has stopped working".

  And another window that says:

  "The application could not initialize properly (0 x 0000005). Click OK to close the application.

  ----------------------------------------------------

  Edit:

  I went to HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/msiserver

  By then replaced the key 'ImagePath' '%systemroot%system32\msiexec/v' '%systemroot%SysWOW64\msiexec/v '.

  I was able to install only certain programs.

  I was able to install the rescue of the music. But I wasn't able to install iTunes 9.2

  How can I fix it?

  Haha. Thank you Michael.

  But I have to able to do work properly now. I'll post any major change (that I remember), just in case where someone wants to try what I did.

  ---------------------------------------------

  I deleted everything I could in my temporary files.

  Then I went "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations" and cleared the entries.

  I went to HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/msiserver

  By then replaced the key 'ImagePath' '%systemroot%system32\msiexec/v' '%systemroot%SysWOW64\msiexec/v '.

  Restarted my PC

  HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/msiserver/ImagePath change back to "%systemroot%system32\msiexec c".

  A run "cmd" and input "msiexec /unreg" then he walked "msiexec/regserver".

  My PC rebooted again

  Profit :D

  Worked for me.

• Windows Installer has stopped working and access is denied installation KB942288-V3

  original title: Windows XP SP3 installation problem

  My windows installer has stopped working. I tried several 'fixed' found on the net, but nothing is done and would be grateful if someone could guide me through the solution.   Windows XP, SP3.

  In 'Services', 'Windows Installer' has been designated 'disabled '.   I changed this "manual".

  msiexec /unreg works ok.
  msiexec/regserver gives an error: "an event could not invoke any of the Subscriber.

  I have downlaoded and ran KB942288-V3 and got ' Setup error.   Access is denied. "

  I watched the permissions in the registry and seems to have all the permissions are ok, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

  Thanks for any help

  Hello Kaiser,

  I would say that if you update your PC from SP2 to SP3 all your files will remain same.

  Once you do a new Installation or a custom don't store all your network cards and other device drivers.

• Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.
   
  Check out WERCON for more information-

  (2) select "View problem history", under 'Windows identified problems' with the right button on a problem, and then select "view problem details. Click "Copy to Clipboard" export to text document
   
  Also reset the Firewall setting:
   
  1) Click START | type FirewallSettings.exe into the start search box | Click on FirewallSettings.exe above | Select the Advanced Settings tab. Click 'Restore Defaults ' | Click on apply (if Hi-lighted) | Click OK

  Log in as administrator-

  Start button | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | Administration tools

  Double-click on Services

  (Provide the administrator password or a confirmation if prompted to do so.)

  Right click on the 'Windows Modules Installer' service, and then select Properties.

• Cannot run Lenovo System Update error tvsu.exe has stopped working

  Original title: tvsu.exe has stopped working

  When I run it on my WIn7 64 bit notebook Lenovo System Update v4, I get the following:

  TVSU Application has stopped working

  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

  I've been reluctant to use these registry cleaners too but had no choice. They well with basic cleaning after uninstall. It is heartbreaking how reckless SSII is during the cleaning of the registry during the uninstallation of their software. And some of the best cleansers will warn you if a fix is dangerous or not you can not run it. But what sometimes happens is that vacuuming can cause two problems for everyone that it fixes if you aren't careful.

  I'll try to post on the site you posted. I'll post here if it helps.

• "Windows Installer has stopped working". After going to 'manage' under 'computer', I find that windows install is missing from the directory 'services '.

  I managed to solve the problem by doing something with my registry. Now after a week his new broke and I don't remember how I fixed it. I am running windows vista ultimate. I discovered that it was broken again by trying to download java. HALP.

  I rebooted my computer in any way, and nothing has worked. However, it seems even e-mail links have stoped working.

  I can only suggest that you back up all your personal files and folders you want to keep in a flash drive or an external hard drive, then...

  1. If your computer comes with a Vista installation DVD, you can use it to perform a repair installation.

  Repair for Vista installation
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html
  If you do not, find a friend who has a. Make sure it has the same version of bits as yours.

  2. If you have a set of recovery disks created at the time you purchased your computer, use and restore your computer to 'presets' (as the first is out of the box)

  If you do not have a set of facts, contact the manufacturer of your computer, ask a set of recovery disks. The cost is very low and it is well worth the expense.
  In the same Helena ask to speak to a technician. Ask the person to teach you how to access your recovery partition (if you have one) and how to use it to restore your system.

  The recovery partition was the installation by the manufacturer of your computer. They know exactly how to use it.

  With my limited knowledge, that's all I can help you.

  ........................................................................................

  Someones with a better knowledge of the computer may have better ideas to solve your problem.

• Windows Update, error: "Windows Modules Installer has stopped working and was closed".

  Whenever I run windows update, and try to install an update for Vista, I get the error message"

  "Windows Modules Installer has stopped working and was closed"

  . This has happened for quite awhile and I tried many suggestions on the web. If you do an internet search, you will see this seems to be a fairly common problem, but I can't find any official solution of Microsoft. I am afraid that I do not receive the latest updates and security patches so would like to help with this question.

  Thank you

  Luke

  Hi guys

  I had installed up-to-date antivirus software and my problem seems to start after an update from Microsoft. Do a search on the web and you will see similar stories. I spent so much time trying to solve this I think it's better just to do a re-install. Certainly not the resolution I had hoped, but appreciate this type of questions are almost impossible to solve the problems through intermittent mail such messages.

  Thank you

• Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

  Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

  I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

  We will cover all the possibilities.

  1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

  Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

  IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

  4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

  Tips:

  -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

  -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

  -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  The operating system is Win 7 x 64.  Video card is a Gigabyte GTS450OC1 with its latest driver running on an Intel DP55KG MB with 8 GB memory Corsair XMS3.  The system was fully functional and stable immediately before the update.  I don't know which of the 18 patches is in conflict with the nvwgf2umx.dll file.  Device Manager reports no hardware problem with any component.

  In my attempts to solve the problem, I run chkdsk f, sfc/scannow (which have reported no problem) and reloaded the video driver (without uninstall first).   Nothing works so far.  I even tried to defragment the master file with Diskeeper 2010 start time Table Defragger (based on another post, I've found), also without success.

  What is the reference for this?

  This may seem like the thing the more janky to post, but I got the same error several months:

  And could not cancel the record/re-record the dll it error out on an entry point missing or whatever.
  So what for some reason any worked for me is to rename C:\Windows\System32\nvwgf2umx.dll to nvwgf2umx.dll.bak (all other copies of this file are in the folder DriverStore).
  After that, I ran from an administrator command prompt
  net stop uxsms
  net start uxsms
  
  
  And miraculously all started working again.  I'm running a GTX570 with latest drivers nvidia from Scripture.
  Note: You probably shouldn't be move/rename things in System32 unless you are confident and have your data backed up.  It worked for me, but who knows you.

  Hi PaulMazor,

  Well first of all, btwapi.dll is a process no system developed by Bluetooth. If you go on your computer, try to disable Bluetooth by going to network and Internet or however your wireless interface is configured on your computer. If you don't have Bluetooth on your computer, try to uninstall it. go to start > Control Panel > programs > uninstall programs > scroll down and uninstall. My last suggesting opens upward, the Windows Task Manager (press ctrl + alt + delete and release). Go to processes and disable the application there. Other that that, I can't help you any further.
  Good luck
