  • 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.

  • Can't install Itunes, get an error that the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode"

    OP: Install problems Windows

    I tried to install iTunes, but he said that "the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Call support personnel. "They gave me similar messages by other programs I've tried to install as well.

    Because I was not running Windows in safe mode in time, I assumed that the installer was not installed correctly. So I tried to download from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

    But then I got error messages like "this update does not apply to your system" and "not enough memory is available to process this command." I tried all the links and none of them worked for me. I'm running a Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and I 2.38 GB of available RAM, so I don't think that the lack of memory is the problem here. What should I do?

    1.] I had a previous version of iTunes, but I got rid of it with Revo Uninstaller.

    I was looking around and I found this: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-installation-setup/96680-repair-windows-installer-service-vista-all-versions-2.html

    I followed the direction of the last message (by F'n Vista) and changed the value of WOW64 Registry and now iTunes has installed perfectly and works now. I'll try to install other programs that I got hurt with previously. Thank you very much for your help! :)
