  * original title - how do I know which programs to take off the windows Installer CleanUp list? I don't want to uninstall or remove a program that I always use currently__ *.

  Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301 (MS Office only - replaced by the 'Fix It' utility)
  (Note: the Windows CleanUp utility has been replaced by the "Fit It":http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ )

  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
  It was created to correct software installations that failed during the installation process and leaving a bunch of files (including a file name that ends with an extension .msi (= MicroSoft Installer .msi). For example an installation failed MS Office (note I said "failed").
  See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011185721033.aspx

  Also if when you installed MS Office you decided at the time you had no need of Power Point and chose not to install it. You find out later you need to make a Power Point presentation, insert the Office CD and try installing PowerPoint and it causes an error.

  The tool using Windows Installer Cleanup will remove damaged installation files (located in C:\Windows\Installer). You then install Office and Power Point, once more, as they are not more present in the list of programs in the Add/Remove Control Panel. But at least this time Office and Power Point will install without errors as the Windows Installer Cleanup utility did what it was designed to do.

  The unfortunate side effect of the cleanup tool is when you select and delete software that works correctly you then will no longer be able to install this software because it is no longer in the Add/Remove Programs list.

  Now as to why there is so many files in the C:\Windows\Installer:
  You will find lots of them. MSI files belong to software such as Java, Microsoft .NET Framework software AV, Norton Ghost, file downloaded during a Windows Update session and so on. It would seem that some software will clean up after itself and deletions, this is the file that were in the folder C:\Windows\Installer. Windows Update failure will create and leave the folders and files behind every time that you try to install the update and so you could end up with a large number of files taking up disk space.

  It could also be a lot of files (is most needed) orphans.
  If you still have the original Windows Installer Cleanup utility, and then by using the msizap (msizap g!) command removes all cached Windows Installer data files that have been orphaned.

• Unable to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility

  My problem is that I can't run the Windows Install Cleanup Utility (WICU). I'm wanting to run what I install iTunes. I get an error that I don't have permissions to change the text. I can't uninstall the program as well because of this permissions error. I am the administrator and the only user of my laptop.

  I also received the error that the program is not associated with file associations. Honestly I don't know what to do.

  Thanks for the reply.

  Hi Craig,.

  -Where you download Windows Installer from?

  Possible causes of this error are:

  -The file is corrupt, missing, or bad.

  -The file is not designed for your version of Windows.

  If the file or program you are trying to run is damaged or missing, Windows will be unable to run the file correctly and generates this error message. Re-download the file install the same.

  In addition, see the following articles to solve the problems of Windows Installer:

• Utility Windows Install CleanUp

  I have recently installed Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.  I read that the warnings on the MS download page on some applications have to be reinstalled.  Elsewhere on the download page of this application is marketed as aclean tool that removes just wandering or oprphaned install files install form incomplete or broken.  I would like to clean up and remove any unnecessary or corrupted files to try to get my computer to recover his speed, but when I open this utility and it scans all installed applications, and returns the list, he warns that some or all applications will need to be reinstalled.  Is - this utility not clean up stray or incomplete installation files without affecting the application installed with Windows Installer?  I don't really have the resources for many applications to reinstall them, if there is a high risk of corrupting applications until point duty reinstall maybe I should just remove the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and forget the orphans to install files that may be present...

  Any advice?

  I don't think that the Windows Installer CleanUp utility is the right tool for you.  It is intended to clean up after installation (or uninstallation) installation failure error messages or interferes with the installation of other programs.   It completely removes a program, requiring you to reinstall in order to use the program.

  Revo Uninstaller may be able to do what you want.

  Just have the unnecessary files on the disc won't slow down your computer, unless it is critical to running out of disk space.  Find out what programs run automatically at startup and disable or remove those that are not necessary. Boulder computer Maven

• Problem with the Windows Installer Cleanup utility

  I'm having a problem installing of a particular program, and told me to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility.

  I downloaded msicuu2.exe and when I ran, got a Windows Script Host window:

  Script: C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000. TMP\StartMsi.vbs
  Online: 17
  Char: 1
  Error: Permission denied
  Code: 800A 0046
  Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

  What that tells me, and what I (think I) do?

  Hi Ernest,

  Try to run the Windows Installer Cleanup utility as administrator and check if that helps.

  To run as administrator

  1. right click on the .exe file

  2. Select run as administrator

  Check if it works fine without any error message.

  Hope this information is useful.

• File of Windows Install CleanUp

  I currently have 30.4 gig of garbage too much space on my C drive in my Windows/Installer program.  I am less then 2% free space.  I have downloaded and run the Windows Installer CleanUp utility only yesterday and who cleared 2gig (I was almost 33 concert in this file to start).  Run this utility has also deleted the software that I use the most on my pc (Sony eReader, iPhone and iTunes and all programs and Microsoft Office 2003!).  I was not able to install SP3 for XP, and I can't run a defragmentation because there is not enough space.  How can I get rid of the junk that has been implemented there (unknown to me until I saw this hidden file) since 2005?  Please help someone.  Thank you.

  Note that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is a third party software, NOT Microsoft. And Microsoft will NOT take any responsibility for this software, because it is not Microsoft software. You could try running Disk Cleanup, it of a free tool inside Windows and could remove unnecessary files and also try to check Add/Remove programs and uninstall prograns that you don't want.

• Windows Install CleanUp Utility

  I would like to have a clarification on the Cleanup utility.
  At the very beginning of the article, there is a caveat:

  Warning The Windows Installer CleanUp utility is provided "as what" to help resolve installation problems for programs that use Microsoft Windows Installer. If you use this utility, you may have to reinstall other programs. Caution is recommended.

  The "you may have to reinstall other programs" worries me.
  1. that means "perhaps"?
  2. How will I know what programs I need to reinstall?
  It seems to be a risky business. Is it not?
  Jumping from fire to the Pan?

  t-4-2

  According to my experience with the program, it is best to use only if:
  1. you cannot uninstall the program using "normal means" (uninstaller comes up with an error, crashes, crashes).
  2. you can not install the program because Windows Installer says it's already installed, or another error has occurred.

  I think that programs delete certain registry entries (as in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer) that are associated with the application that you are deleting. From my experience, it never broke anything with other programs. Note that the registry entries and files created by the application are not removed by "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" (only the information that the program is installed).
  We can assume that this problem may occur if A program is removed using "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" and Installer (UN) B of the program somehow call program a Setup program.
  Say, you have a Bluetooth software which contains the drivers and applications that are installed by using Windows Installer technology. You remove the drivers by using "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" and then try to delete the application. The uninstall application program wants to first remove the drivers so she calls the Windows Installer to do this. But the Windows Installer engine is unable to do so because the 'Bluetooth' driver is no longer listed as an installed product. Thus, it returns an error to the uninstall of the application... which can also return an error.

• I get the error message, the Windows Installer Service could not be found, is there a solution?

  I get an error message, the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.  This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly.  Is there any solution for this?  Also I can't find service.msi.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.  Any help I can get for this will be appreiated.  System restore not working anymore.  Carolyn Stallings

  Always, always, first specify what operating system you are using before you begin to explain the problem.

• Is there anyway that I can download the Windows 7 Home Premium for my boyfriend to use on his computer on a new drive? His crashed the other night. Help, please.

  I was wondering if I could download the Windows 7 Home Premium on a dvd - r disc and use it to start my computer buddies back up? Its Windows XP crashed on him the other night. Can someone help me please? Thank you.

  It is not possible to download Windows 7 on a DVD. If you want to install Windows 7 on the computer, you must purchase a Microsoft installation disc.

  You would think that a Microsoft Support engineer would know what is available in the Microsoft store.  But maybe not.

  If your b/f to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7, you can buy Windows 7 directly from Microsoft and download.  You can download an ISO file which can be burned to a DVD if you have a software that can make this engraving.  Of course, with your b / f machine works do not, you will not be able to use Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine if your computer is capable of running Windows 7.

  If I misread one of Microsoft stores information, you can also get a file ISO downloadable here (though of course, you need to purchase a license from Microsoft): http://techpp.com/2009/11/11/download-windows-7-iso-official-direct-download-links/

  See http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/pd/productID.216644600/parentCategoryID.44066700/categoryID.50726100/list.true

  In the FAQ:

  THE FORMAT OF ISO DOWNLOAD

  For different products, you can download your software as an ISO file, which is a single file that contains all the files Setup for your application. Download your software as an ISO file makes backup of your files on a DVD or a USB storage device that is easy.

  NOTE: If you use Windows 7, we provide the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool that lets you create a backup of your Windows 7 software using the ISO file.

  See also, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/installing-windows-7-on-a-netbook
  Buy and download Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store as an ISO file and copy it to a USB flash drive. If you need start, or boot, your PC during the installation of Windows 7 (for example, if you want to format your hard disk during the installation), you can download Windows 7 in a special format called an ISO file and use the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a USB key, which you can then use it to install Windows 7 on your netbook

• Cannot get administrator access to download the Windows 8.1 upgrade

  Hello.

  I have a new XPS8700.  I was able to download the Windows 8.1 since the MS. Store upgrade  My first problem is the lack of updates from Windows, I did, and now I can see the 8.1 update in the store.  I can also download updates to other access points.

  My problem is a continual notice whenever I hit the download that I must log in to an account with admin access.  Best I can tell, this and other forums have shown me how to add the Admin feature with the command prompt.  I even created a second account and did the same thing.  In the summary screen of the user in the Control Panel, the two users show "administrator."  But I still can't access

  I tried "net user administrator / Active: Yes" but also tried the same thing with permutation of my name for the administrator

  The real ' administrator' user cannot do anything in the App Store.  This seems to be what's supposed to happen.

  Does anyone have advice?

  Very frustrating to say the least

  Sounds like a bad set-up. I would advise to uninstall KB2871389 and put it back manually. Also uninstall McAfee and then retry the update.

  Unfortunately, the combination of policies (blocking Windows 8.1 media to accept product keys Windows 8.0) Microsoft and Dell systems with Windows 8.1 not marketed is problematic for the end user. Dell won't be able send you reinstalling Windows 8.0 media. If you can get your hands on the Windows media 8.1, then you can clean install with him using the following arounds:
