• Windows Installer service could not be accessed when you try to install Itunes

  I have a new Dell under Windows 7 Home Premium.  I'm unable to download Itunes.  I am trying to download the version for Windows 7 64-bit systems, but when I click to run the software I get the following error message:
  Install the windows service could not be accessed.  This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode or if windows install is not properly installed.  Contact your support team.
  
  I am not running windows in safe mode and I am logged on as administrator.  I tried to stop and start the windows setup program and rebooting the system, but I still cannot install the program.

  I installed other programs of the disc and download without problem.  However, I am also having a problem installing update the following windows: 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1).  When I tried to download it I get the following message is displayed:
  Error code 8007066f Windows update has encountered an unknown error.

  This would be part of the same problem?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

• Error "Installation package could not be opened" when tried to install Age of Empires 3

  Original title: installation package could not be opened

  Due to problems with Age of Empires 1, 2 and 3, I recently uninstalled using Advanced Uninstaller. I then reinstalled AOE 1 and 2 but when I tried to install AOE 3 I got the message "the installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it. \Age of Empires III.msi"

  Hi once again, fortunately today I bring better news! As a result of a serious lack of assistance from Apple themselves, have no idea of "The Tech Guys" in the world PC and extremely unnecessary hours at Microsoft, I've sorted it me. In other words, the main problem with mine was the Apple Software Updater. Even with "Revo" I was unable to remove it. I decided to download "Windows Installer Clean Up" from there where I could find (it was also free!). I used it and immediately found, I could choose the Apple Software Updater and remove it with very little hassle in all. I proceed to download the new iTunes, and I'm a very happy Bunny! Thanks for nothing, Microsoft and Apple! Hope this helps - Dan

• message "your purchase could not be completed" when you try to install Adobe Reader from the Windows store

  I try to install Adobe Reader Touch to my Surface installed Pro Windows 8.1 Microsoft Windows store.  I get the following message is displayed:

  "Your purchase could not be executed.

  Something has happened and it's impossible to make your purchase.  "Error code: 0 x 080070057.

  Only, this seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader Touch.  I was able to install applications from other vendors and Adobe (for example, Photoshop Express to the elements).  So it doesn't seem to be a problem with my Adobe account, or a problem with Windows Store system.

  Anyone have this problem?  All solutions?

  THX.

  Hi jjquinn75

  I recommend contacting Microsoft about this error message as it is returned by the windows store program.

  Furthermore, I you recommend to download the installer for Adobe reader offline using this link (Adobe - Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Distribution ) and then try to install on your device pro surface.

  Kind regards

  Hi, I use a 64 bit OS on my computer and I have a problem. AdminStudio gives an error message when running this program.

  "SQL Server 2005 Setup cannot continue because the installation package could not be opened. The installation package has a missing file, or you run a single installer 32 bit on a 64-bit computer.

  What can I do about?

  Thank you!

  Hello again,

  Thanks, I solved this problem. This program installs 32-bit as the default value in the path of the folder. This is why it does not work when everyone works beginning... But there is a solution for this topic...

  Exactly the solution:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=22625

  Note:

  SQLEXPR32. EXE is a smaller package that can be used to install SQL Server Express on 32-bit operating systems only.

  The larger SQLEXPR. EXE package supports installation on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems (WOW install).

• This installation package could not be opened. [SOLVED]

  I try to install Java 6 update 18 and get the error message:

  "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package. »

  I uninstalled Mcafee, spybot, and ad-aware.  I also disabled all the security of vista and UAC.  The only account on my computer's administrator.

  I followed some suggestions on this site and made a run and type msiexec / unregister, and then run and typing msiexec/regserver and I still get the same error.

  I also tried to run the program as administrator and with UAC turned back does not.  I tried to download Windows install 4.5 for x 86 but it tells me that this update is not compatible with my vista installation.  I am running vista Home premium 32-bit, so I don't know why I get this error.

  I also have service pack 2 installed.

  I'm completely lost on why this is happening.  This situation of not being able to install Java also applies to a few other programs as well, but not all of them.  I don't remember witch ones they are, but Java is my main concern at the moment and I feel that if this is fixed, other programs will install as well.

  I would apprectiate very any help on this.

  UPDATE: I also tried Run and type in services.msc and found windows install and changed manual automatic and started the service.
  It didn't work either. :-(

  -UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATED - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATED - UPDATE -.

  This problem is now solved!

  It seems that the "Run as Administrator" command gives you administrative privileges only, and they are not sufficient to install Java (and OpenOffice, by association) and other programs as well. To work around this problem, you must actually you as an administrator. Open a command prompt with admin rights by clicking Start, run, type cmd in the search/run box and pressing CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER. At the prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes

  Then disconnect from your regular account and record as an administrator, you should be able to install the program. When you are finished, open a session to your regular account and, for security reasons, disabling the account administrator for assistance:

  NET user administrator / active: No.

  Wallah, its done and everything works.
