How to remove and reinstall Windows Installer.

How to remove and reinstall Windows Installer.  It has a small problem and prevents future updates. Windows updates fail because Windows Installer does not properly or is damaged.  Tried to start, run msiexec/unreg, but it does not work.  Thanks for your help.

Hi, Gary.

Microsoft® Windows® Installer (MSI) is the service of installation and configuration of application for Windows. Download packages will update the version of Windows Installer on your system to version 4.5.

  • Acrobat Pro DC: Tracker is messed up - how to remove and reinstall Tracker?

    I had periodic with Tracker for awhile, but for the last problems while working for the most part very well.

    Could not * withdraw * email clients, but may initiate.

    Recently, they stopped once again saved in the Tracker. In other words, I can launch critical, but they do not appear in the Tracker, and do not save requests for review of my "sent" in Outlook folder.

    Looked at the list of comments in Tracker... There is a * lot * of them now :-)

    Tried to remove them (make a right click, remove Tracker, yes I am of course)... does not remove them.

  • Satellite A30 keyboard suddenly stopped working - how to remove and reinstall?

    Hi all, n00b to laptops and first post. OK, I usually build and repair desktop computers, so much easier to win the centimeters!
    My daughter turned on his laptop A30 last night and only 2 keys worked. Tried to restart and go into the BIOS but could not. Tried to start in safe mode, only the top and bottom of work therefore impossible to select Safe mode... doh. Guess it must be a harware issue.

    Restarted in Xp an open upward Notepad... this time, about 5 keys working. Reboot, 3 keys etc etc.

  • How to uninstall windows 10 and reinstall windows 7?

    How to uninstall windows 10 and reinstall windows 7

    I do not recommend coming back because I've seen too much to go wrong.
    Returning can be done only if you have installed in the past 30 days (if you created a new user, you should remove it before come back you)

    Back on the settings > update & security > Recovery > roll back to a previous operating system

    This will only work if the windows.old and 2 hidden folders ($Windows. ~ WS & Windows $. ~ BT) are still present.  If you do that you will need to re - install.
  • Remove all and reinstall Windows

    Hello

    I've updated my PC Windows 7 to Windows 8 a few months ago and a few minor but annoying problems (in particular, any program sometimes hangs when you open a file selection window, such as open file or save under).

    Since I have no problem with my laptop which came with Windows 8 OEM (rather than be updated), I thought I could get all those resolved by using the function "all delete and reinstall Windows.

    Could you is it someone please let me know if this is going to do a clean install, as if I had installed Windows on a formatted disk, or if she just wants to reset all the same condition as after the initial upgrade, less user profiles and data?

    If I go down this path, by using the migration wizard to save all data on an external drive and it recover after reinstallation there would be a recommended way to go?

    Thank you!

    I understand it will remove all the data, but I wonder if Windows is reinstalled as on a formatted hard disk clean, or just reset be based on the existing installation (which can not solve my problems).

    It will reinstall Windows 8, but all your personal files and applications, and the settings will be deleted.

    It will more than likely solve any problem you may encounter.
