  Issue of Windows install

  I just bought a HP Photosmart printer and I am trying to install the software on my computer. (OS is Windows Vista.)

How should I proceed?

  You could try to go to the MICROSOFT website, go to KNOWLAGE database and in the search bar, try the search for WINDOWS INSTALLER. Look for any version that is newer than the one you have. If this fails, try searching on GOOGLE. You can also try to do an update to WINDOWS VISTA.

  In addition to Ajay has suggested, try to repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and use its suggestions to determine which program is responsible for run Winmail on its own.  Also check 3rd party, such as antivirus, program interferences.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

• Error message "a program could not start. Please try again"when I try to send Remote Assistance invitation.

  original title: Remote Assistance does not work

  Win XP PRO SP3

  Question #1:

  When you try to send an invitation to support remote I get an error message "a program could not start. Please try again. »

  This error pops up before even the invitation is created, so the problem is with the creation of the invitation and not with problems of subsequent connection between the computers. The invitation is never created. This happens on several computers I own or maintain.

  The event log records all errors when this happens.

  I searched for hours all over the Internet and a lot of people seem to have this problem. Some it is resolved, for the most part, they needed to start a service, but the cause of their problem is not the same as mine.

  After restarting the computer, sometimes the invitation creation works fine.

  Other DIY suggests when the problem appears it can be corrected by running the command 'sessmgr-service' in a command line window. After executing this line it seems that the problem is resolved.

  What I find disconcerting is that Sessmgr.exe is the service Remote Desktop Help Session Manager that was already running, but for some unknown reason runs this line made work again right. I'll have to experiment more.

  Is it possible to debug and fix this?

  Question #2:

  When I can finally send an invitation it will work on the local network but not on the Internet. I can't connect to the Internet.

  I'm looking at the structure and the content of the invitation to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc240167(v=prot.10).aspx
  In the example given here, as in the generated invitations in my experiences, the invitation contains only the LAN IP addresses (with port number) but no global address.
  RCTICKET =... 192.168.1.65:3389; Jeff: 3389

  How the computer expert is supposed to understand the global address to which it should connect is a mystery to me.

  How can I get Remote Assistance to work on the Internet?
