Installer Windows continues to run.
The Windows Installer continues to run whenever I do any type of activity from Solution Explorer or launch a desktop application. I am running Office XP on Vista Home Premium and it used to work fine, until I rebooted my PC. I installed the Vista service packs before you reinstall all my programs and this is where the problem started. All other programs work very well. I have admin on the account that I use and UAC turneed off right. I have all the updates of Windows installed. No matter if I run the first program or open a document to open the program. I always get the message that wimndows is to install office, and then configure it. Any ideas? Installer Windows continues to run

Windows Installer Cleanup Utility cannot run because corrupt Microsoft installation Service
I can't get the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility to run, I get an error message "the Microsoft Installer could not access the Service." I tried re-registration of the service nothing is done. I work on a customer's computer and can not get KB2467173 or Windows Live Essentials update, so I am unable to run internet explore in the standard 32-bit functionality.
I would avoid reinstalling Windows if possible.
Note: Windows Installer Cleanup utility is no longer supported and is not available via a Microsoft page.
Comment: If your client is in the habit of running "Registry cleaners", a clean installation of Windows will be your only recourse.

How windows Defender to continue to run with security essentials
How windows Defender to continue to run with most of the security. When I installed the essentials Defender stopped running. I tried everything I know. missing in admin tools and all programs and it starts and stops. Oh, I'm on Dell Inspiron 545 Vista 64-bit Service Pak 2
Hello
Defender is NOT supposed to work with MSE, and there is no worlaround.
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
.
If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

Original title - how to reinstall windows install
When you try to redownload the installer windows Iget a msg that says: a script required for t his install to complete could not be run.
Hi nyyankee53
You can check if the antivirus or other security software raises questions. I would say to you temporarily disable the security software installed and check if the problem is resolved.If you disable any security software for troubleshooting temporarily, so don't forget to activate after troubleshooting is completed that your computer will be at risk.

SP2 error: "the Service pack installation cannot continue.
Hello
Hope someone can help with this.
When I try to install SP2 I get this message "the Service pack installation cannot continue - is missing one or more components of the system which requires service pack."
My computer is a Dell Studio 1737 laptop came with Vista Premium 64 bit OS. Received 3 months ago.
Last week, I got a blue screen while making a rescue disk (I know, it's ironic), computer was slow, so I tried to do the system restore. System Restore does not work (I installed SP2 in fact at the moment, no problem). Looked for the solution, only thing I could find was to re - install OS repair mode (upgrade).
Found some info on VLite (knew, it has not been accepted by MS). Did the repair installation with VLite, added updates and drivers, took only some of the great language files. Load and run fine, ran all updates to windows. When I tried to install SP2, I got the "Service pack installation cannot continue - one or more components of the system that requires the service pack are missing. Looking for solutions, concluded the MS 'this may be due to the installation of VLite"only resolution is to re - install with OEM disc.
If that's what I did, re-installed, (repair - upgrade), once again. Load and run fine, ran all updates to windows. When I tried to install SP2 I got the "Service pack installation cannot continue - is missing one or more components of the system which requires service pack"-NEW.
I have:
-tried several times
-uninstalled VLite (of fat)
-Disabled antivirus, Norton 360
-Downloaded the standalone KB948465 - X 64
-guarantees for KB955430 and all updates were installed
-Ran "reset windows update components.
-Re-installed "Windows updater.
-We searched MS forum and Web site for help, can't find anything on the message of"missing components".
-Ran "System tool" KB947821
