• Update Windows XP Pro/Adobe Reader fail/error 1601

  Problem started with the pop-up box 'Windows Installer' TrayApp.msi, ScannerCopy.msi, error 1601. Computer works fine, the printer works fine. Adobe Reader update installation failure. Worried about the security updates. Set to "automatic updates" everyday. Printer installation has been done since the HP Web site. Can you help me? English plain please. Not a developer.

  English plain please.

  "Plain English", specifically including complete sentences, is also useful when you ask questions.  You must also specify the version of Windows you have, including the Service Pack (click right my computer and select Properties, if you do not know).

  Whatever your printer works well has to do with the errors that you see?  If there is a problem with your printer, please include the brand (HP, I guess) and the model.

  When this popup error happens (that is, which causes the error)?

  Was the message itself, that you have received 'Windows install is not accessible.  Installation cannot continue because the Windows Installer is accessible.  Error 1601 "code?

  If this is the error message you received, then:

  Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK).
  In the black command prompt window, type the following lines and press ENTER after each line

  msiexec /unreg
  msiexec/regserver
  output

  You shouldn't really have to restart the computer here, but do it anyway.

  Do whatever it is that caused the error message.  Things work now?

  If you want to install Adobe Reader, the current version is here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ don't forget to uncheck the box to install McAfee Security Scan Plus.  You can be happier, however, with the software free FoxIt Reader, an application that is much less inflated to read pdf files.

• After installing Ubuntu 11.04, Windows Vista has disappeared.

  Original title: Windows vista is missing

  After installing Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) my other OP system Windows vista has disappeared. I don't get a menu to choose which OP system I want to use. The grub menu 2 does not include an entry for windows. My computer directly boots into Ubuntu. I tried to put the installation disc in the status bar to try to recover the system but nothing works. Can someone help me please? Isetta cordially.

  Hi Isetta,

  It seems that after installing Ubuntu, grub 2 took control of Boot Manager and changed the boot sequence. To change the startup entries to get Vista, you must contact Ubuntu for assistance on changing the grub boot entries 2.

  You can see the following link to get in touch with Ubuntu.

• Windows Installer has stopped working and access is denied installation KB942288-V3

  original title: Windows XP SP3 installation problem

  My windows installer has stopped working. I tried several 'fixed' found on the net, but nothing is done and would be grateful if someone could guide me through the solution.   Windows XP, SP3.

  In 'Services', 'Windows Installer' has been designated 'disabled '.   I changed this "manual".

  msiexec /unreg works ok.
  msiexec/regserver gives an error: "an event could not invoke any of the Subscriber.

  I have downlaoded and ran KB942288-V3 and got ' Setup error.   Access is denied. "

  I watched the permissions in the registry and seems to have all the permissions are ok, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

  Thanks for any help

  Hello Kaiser,

  I would say that if you update your PC from SP2 to SP3 all your files will remain same.

  Once you do a new Installation or a custom don't store all your network cards and other device drivers.

• Windows Installer has stopped working on Vista Ultimate 64 - bit SP2

  Hello

  My Windows Installer has stopped working all of a sudden (probably common last week).  I get no error message at all.  It simply doesn't get it.  The programs can be installed and uninstalled by there own systems updated, but the changes are not reflected in "programs and features".  When I ask Windows Installer to run under programs and features, I get the usual verification pop-ups, but once I click on the last approval, nothing happens.

  I tried to install a new Windows Installer from the Microsoft Download site and each time, the program "check updates" and I get an error message that says "this update does not apply to your version," (to paraphrase).  I tried to install Windows 6.0, v-2, x 64, but when it does not work I tried all (LOL) with the same result.

  At first I thought that my computer can was struck by a malicious code, so I ran MSE, remove malicious software (FULL) Windows for January and Advanced System Care 3.  All scans is come-up 100% clean!

  I tried to restore my computer to a point 3 days does not.  As Murphy's law would have, I disabled the restore before January 12 points.

  Windows Update online might work.  I get notifications for optional updates for MSE and AFAIK, they are applied.

  Edit: One more important thing, the uninstall on Advanced System Care 3 feature does more either.  It's almost like the hooks to the installer of Windows have been removed to that also.

  Installation service seems to be very well and the value 'manual '.

  Any thoughts on the subject?  I can reload Windows from "day 1", but would rather not.  Laughing out loud.  I have my drive so.  :-)

  Thanks in advance for your help.

• Check Windows Update has disappeared

  I disabled the box in Windows Update settingsso as to not give me updates for Microsoft products and not to check the new optional Microsoft software when I update Windows.

  After that, the box has disappeared in the settings window, and I can't go back on my decision. I read somewhere that it could be corrected using the policy editor. I attemppted to do, but it did not work satisfactorily.

  Is there an effective way to restore this box which has disappeared from the settings window?

  [Running Windwos 7 Pro 64-bit]

  I found that I could try to clear the history in Windows Update as follows:

  Paste this command to search for Windows.
  %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\

  Go to the datastore folder, and delete the content. Reboot and re-scan updated them.

  I did the above, after following the instructions of MowGreen wuauserv and bits.

  After restarting the PC, the Windows Update page includes all the options and now shows the box who had disappeared.

  The only thing I lost was the history of Windows Update.
