• Error message: cannot access Windows Installer during the installation of Java SDK

  Original title: How To Install Windows Installer?

  OK, so I came to my laptop to do a writing in Word. Later, I tried to install the Java Development Kit, but he said something, of not being able to access Windows Installer. I ignored it and went to download a registry cleaner program to try to solve, but he also said "cannot access Windows Installer". Undertook research to install across the entire hard drive and the Windows registry and I found nothing. Not even the key MSIServer was there. I went to the Services and it was not there either. I opened my journal program, and he said that Microsoft Windows Installer has been deleted from the hard drive. The newspaper program that I use is open source and theres no script that writes, deletes, or replaces all files! So all I can do now is to install again, so I went to the Microsoft Download page: Windows Installer but when I tried to download mine)

  Windows6.0 - KB942288-v2 - x 86 .msu) he said first of all, "the search for updates...". "and then"update does not apply to your system. Any help would be appreciated!
  System Specs:
  -Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32-bit
  -Inter Core 2 Duo Processor
  -3 GB RAM
  -220 GB hard drive
  -105 GB free HDD
  -Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop

  OK people! I found the answer myself. The only thing I did was to do a system restore to the nearest date when it started to happen and after a few minutes I got the key MSIServer and everything started working again! YAY!

• Cannot install Itunes: ER MSG: cannot access WIndows Installer

  My first installation of Itunes did not. Prob. tried to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit computer.
  Now, all I get is error 'Can't access Windows install' message when I trey to update, reinstall or uninstall.
  Tried to follow KB support 315346 re-register msiexec for 32 and 64 bit - no idea if it worked but Itunes still generates the error message.

  Hello

  Please use the Windows Vista Forums.

  Start the Windows Installer service

  1. Click Start, type Services.msc and press {ENTER}

  2. double-click on Windows Installer

  3. set the Windows Installer to Manual startup type

  4. Click Start to start the service. Note the error message, if any.

  5. click on OK.

  Make sure that the Windows Installer is not disabled if group policy.

  a. Click Start, type gpedit.msc in the search box and press ENTER to open the Group Policy object editor.

  b. click on Computer Configuration, administrative templates, click Windows components and then click Windows Installer.

  c. double-click Disable Windows Installer on the right side.

  d. make sure that the configured or disabled option is selected.

  If this does not help, check that the location of the Msiexec.exe in the Windows registry file matches the location of the Msiexec.exe file on the hard drive. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  2. in the left pane, click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, click SYSTEM, click on CurrentControlSet, click Services, and then MSIServer.

  3. in the right pane, double-click ImagePath.

  4. in the dialog box change channels, make sure that the string in the value box contains the correct path of the Msiexec.exe file on the hard drive. This is the way that you saved in step a, a - c. For example, if the Msiexec.exe file is located in the drive: \Windows\System32 hard disk, the correct path of the Msiexec.exe in the zone data file of value is the following path:

  drive: \Windows\System32\Msiexec.exe/v

  Note in this path, drive is the drive where Windows is installed. The "/v" at the end of the path is a parameter required by Windows Installer. Do not delete it.

  5. If the value box does not contain the correct path, type the correct path in the box, and then click OK.

  Note Add "/v" until the end of the path, as shown in the previous step.

  6. close the registry.

  Reregister Windows install.

  a. Click Start, type %windir%\system32\msiexec / unregserver in the search box, then press ENTER.

  b. type %windir%\system32\msiexec/REGSERVER, and then press ENTER.

• I get a message saying "Windows cannot open the file...". »

  I had a lot of problems with infections, so I was running many scanning programs.

  After getting my computer almost completely cleaned, I ran the Super Anti-Spyware program.  We find 3 infections, which I'd delete (I don't have no way of knowing that I removed).

  Since then, whenever I try to open a program, or even Windows Update, etc., I get a message saying:

  "Windows cannot open the file.  To open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program has created.  Windows can go online to search automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs.

  When I go on the web, I get a lot of options, which are almost free scans that then charge for fixing.  I am also very scared that I can also get another infection from these sites.

  I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

  Yes, each method is a set of measures to try and then go ahead and try each one separate.

  2 method will reset the executable (.exe) extension that will allow you to open programs. It is not clear what exactly you are trying to open so that it can have no effect.

  Keep in mind that the damage caused by malware can be irreversible, in the case of relocations are necessary.
