Is there a common step to fix the Windows Installer Service in Windows?

Are there common measures to fix the Windows Installer Service in Windows XP/Vista/7? Please can you give us a few methods on how to repair Windows Installer step by step? I searched this forum and www.support.microsoft.com, but apparently no method 'good enough '...

Thanks in advance for your help.

These troubleshooting steps should help to resolve the error you mentioned.

Insofar as the changes in the registry, I would create a system restore point before making changes or a backup so you can come back in until the registry has been changed.

Creating a system manually restore point

Right-click on the computer icon in the desktop, then choose Properties
In the left pane, click System Protection
Alternatively, to directly access the System Protection tab, click Start and type SystemPropertiesProtection.exe.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click on create.

Let me know if it helps.

  • Cannot open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase the area of document and try again

    Hello

    I'm under Illustrator CS6 on a Mac version 10.10.3. I created an Illustration and I accidentally did very little to save and close the window. Now whenever I open the file I get the error "unable to open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase the area of document and try again. "This problem is specific to this file only - I can open all other correct files, and anyone who tries to open that particular file on a completely separate machine receives the same error. I read all the posts of people having the same error message, but their problem is different from mine because my problem is specifically limited to this file. I've trashed preferences, hidden and shown the toolbar Application and an open framework of other files and makes them great as possible, has the file open on the file menu, instead of double clicking, and none of these methods work.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you so much in advance!

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910337
    Windows could not start the service on the local computer's Background Intelligent Transfer. For more information, see the system event log. If it is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor and refer to service particular-2147467243 error code. (0 x 80080005)

    original title: How can I fix error code Ox80072EE2?

    Get the Ox80072EE2 error. Chose the express download then Windows Update checked for the latest updates, but the update did not follow and gave the error code Ox80072EE2. Tried several times. I have Windows XP Service Pack 3. Downloaded FixIt, but did not fix. Last successful update was 12/14/11. How can I fix this error code? Thanks a bunch for all help!

    If Windows Update error 80072ee2 during updates, you may need to add the addresses of websites which Windows Update downloads updates to the exceptions to your firewall or 'green list '.

    To add the Windows Update Web sites to a firewall exceptions list

    • Windows Firewall ships with this version of Windows and should already include these sites in the exceptions list. If you are using another firewall, see Help for the software publisher to see how to add these websites to your firewall exceptions list:

  • Need to fix the Windows XP but I forgot the admin password...

    My windows XP is restarting frequently and not allow me to connect... So I tried to fix my Windows xp using the recovery option... but to use this option, I need Admin password that I forgot. Please help me to overcome this problem...

    You could look at this http://www.ubcd4win.com/howto.htm

    If you do this, you should be able to do a system restore to a few days ago.

    Or even better yet, in the boot for cd menu, go to Offline NT Password & registry Editor, and press ENTER.  Then let it boot and select your windows partition (if one only, there should be one [1] right next to the slider.) Press ENTER.  Unless you have a different path, press ENTER, and then press ENTER.  Press enter once more. Now, select the administrator account and press on enter and clear the password (number 1) to clear the password. Then type in one!, hit enter, type q and press ENTER, type Y and press ENTER. If it says complete edition, press on enter, equip you XP CD and press Ctrl Alt Delete.   Now, restart in your installation cd and enter the password as nothing.

    Hope this helps,

  • How can I fix the "Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt.'

    all of a sudden my computer goes from fine to a "Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt."

    and I don't have any idea how to resolve this its driving me crazy.

    I downloaded the iso file for vista, the restore disc but it not start when I restart my computer. what im supposed to do or am I missing something?

    You need to change the boot sequence:

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Is there a tool out of all the windows configuration settings? (gpedit.msc, services.msc)

    I am trying to build an audit tool to extract the Windows of my environment settings, and it compares with planning what I defined. This baseline scenario specifies in detail what settings should be enabled / disabled / how it should be configured.

    Because it is a large scale environment, and I know exactly what I need, I would build a tool of mine.  I've used such gpresult and secedit commands to get the settings but I can't get all the settings.  I've already got many settings in the registry, but it works to be a bit heavy.

    Most of the settings I need are in gpedit.msc, services.msc, although I can't get in/out these values by using a script.

    For example -.
    Store passwords using reversible encryption for all users in the domain = on (or off)

    This setting is in gpedit, but I can't find this setting in the registry / other functions of command line.  I noticed that most of the information is readily available in gpedit.msc / services.msc although I don't know how to automate the extraction of these parameters.

    Could you please help to automate the extraction of these parameters?  I want ths process is transparent to the user / server administrator to reduce the interaction required for the information.  A macro will not allow the extraction of these parameters, while the computer is locked.

  • Is there anyway that I can download the Windows 7 Home Premium for my boyfriend to use on his computer on a new drive? His crashed the other night. Help, please.

    I was wondering if I could download the Windows 7 Home Premium on a dvd - r disc and use it to start my computer buddies back up? Its Windows XP crashed on him the other night. Can someone help me please? Thank you.

    It is not possible to download Windows 7 on a DVD. If you want to install Windows 7 on the computer, you must purchase a Microsoft installation disc.

    You would think that a Microsoft Support engineer would know what is available in the Microsoft store.  But maybe not.

    If your b/f to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7, you can buy Windows 7 directly from Microsoft and download.  You can download an ISO file which can be burned to a DVD if you have a software that can make this engraving.  Of course, with your b / f machine works do not, you will not be able to use Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine if your computer is capable of running Windows 7.

    If I misread one of Microsoft stores information, you can also get a file ISO downloadable here (though of course, you need to purchase a license from Microsoft): http://techpp.com/2009/11/11/download-windows-7-iso-official-direct-download-links/

    See http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/en_US/pd/productID.216644600/parentCategoryID.44066700/categoryID.50726100/list.true

    In the FAQ:

    THE FORMAT OF ISO DOWNLOAD

    For different products, you can download your software as an ISO file, which is a single file that contains all the files Setup for your application. Download your software as an ISO file makes backup of your files on a DVD or a USB storage device that is easy.

    NOTE: If you use Windows 7, we provide the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool that lets you create a backup of your Windows 7 software using the ISO file.
