Module of Windows Installer hangs

• Modules of Windows Installer error: 126

  My gateway has Vista Home Premium 64-bit with SP1. Windows updates do not work.

  After doing some research, I discovered that avast anti-virus might have removed TrustedInstaller.exe which I believe may have something to do with the problem although TrustedInstaller.exe is always in C:/WINDOWS/services (that is, as far as I know the correct location). Also, when I open Services (start > Search "Services" > Services) and try to start the installer of Modules of Windows it gives me the error: 126 the specified module could not be found. This leads me to believe it may have something to do with my registry?
  sfc/scannow does not work.

  Ive tried a number of bugs. One was the TrustedInstaller.exe copy from a computer of friends on my C:/WINDOWS/Services
  I have also consulted with similar positions on this site unfortunately, nothing helped. I tried to install SP2 hoping that it would fix, but without the work of the installer of Modules of Windows I couldn't make it work.

  I'm willing to try anything short of reformatting. Restoration is not an option that I do not have a restore point...

  Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Please explain in terms of beginners all the instructions that you may need to solve this problem, as I am little more than a beginner. Google is the only thing that made me this far :-)

  OK people leave your freakout... the answer is and Google can find it. I fixed it on my own.

  My symptoms:

  • Windows update fails
  • Manual installation of the service pack fails
  • SFC fails
  • Windows Modules Installer (aka TrustedInstaller) does not work and returns error 126
  • .. other stuff, I don't remember fails
  • CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE error (0 x 80080005)

  I read a number of discussions like this, here and on other sites. I tried the instructions above without success (although I can't be sure that they were not part of the solution). Then, I found this:

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/282940-Windows-Modules-Installer-error-126-fix.html

  There are a lot of details, written in bad English, with screenshots provided. Here's what worked for me, partially copypasta and partially paraphrased for brevity and clarity:

  I was missing the following registry key:
  HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component base Servicing\Version.

  To fix:
  1. navigate to C:\Windows\Servicing\Version and read the name of a subfolder. It will be named something like 6.1.7600.16385. It's your ID of TrustedInstaller {}. Copy the name of this folder to the Clipboard (and paste in Notepad to guard).

  2. find a subfolder in C:\Windows\WinSxS whose name starts with:

  x86_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_ {TrustedInstaller ID} (Windows 32-bit)

  Amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_ {TrustedInstaller ID} (Windows 64 bit)

  Copy the name of this folder to the Clipboard (and paste in Notepad to guard).

  3. create the subkey "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component base Servicing\Version". You take possession of the "component based Servicing" and then give you full access permissions before you can create the key.

  4. in the new Version key, creating 'extensible value' using the TrustedInstaller ID as its name and the full path of the folder that you have identified in WinSxS as being its value. Correctly, you must use %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\whatever instead of C:\Windows\WinSxS\whatever.

• Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.

  Hi Shafiabdullahi,

  Thanks for posting the question on the Microsoft Community Forums.

  According to the description, it looks like you are faced with a problem during the installation of Windows 8 operating system.

  It would be great if you could answer these questions to help you further.

  1. you try to perform a new installation or an upgrade installation?

  2. you receive an error message or error code?

  3. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  Note: Make a backup of all data before installing.

  I suggest you try the following before installing windows 8.

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to check the status of Windows 8 system:

  Here is a summary of the system configuration required:

  1 GHz processor or faster with EAP, NX and SSE2 support.

  2 GB RAM / 20 GB of available disk space.

  screen resolution of 1366 × 768.

  DirectX 9 graphics with WDDM driver processor.

  To use touch, you need a PC that supports multi-touch.

  Method 2:

  I recommend to disconnect all external devices other than the keyboard and mouse during the installation of windows 8 and check if it helps.

  Method 3:

  If you try to perform an upgrade installation then, I suggest you uninstall if there is no security software installed on your computer before you install windows 8.

  I suggest using windows 8 upgrade wizard and check if you get an error message or error code.

• Windows XP installation hangs when the BIOS is set to AHCI

  I have Windows 7 on my computer. It has a motherboard Asus P8Z77 - V LX with the AHCI BIOS.

  Now, I would like to install Windows XP to a dual boot set up so that my son can continue to play some of their old games XP.

  When I tried to install XP, I got the BSOD during the first phase of the installation process.

  Internet research, I discovered that Windows needs a controller AHCI driver and that I could use F6 to install the appropriate driver to a diskette during installation or wake the driver in a Windows installation CD using a program called nLite. I chose the latter because there are no floppy drive on the computer. I chose the version XP 32 bit Intel (R) series 7/216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller to wake.

  I used my newly created installation disk and the initial phase of installation is fine, but after the first reboot, just like the Windows XP GUI interface appeared, the system crashed, rebooted and crashed again.

  The only way I could get XP install was to change the BIOS to IDE, then it installed fine. But Windows 7 does not load unless I have change the AHCI BIOS so that's what I've done so far.

  Suggestions as to how I can either get XP to install in AHCI mode or change it to AHCI mode, once it has been installed in IDE mode?

  OK, my apologies, it seems I have didn't read entirely your answer. I have BSOD stop 7B have treated several times and has been guilty of inaccurate "quick read".

  However, I gave you a possibility through response to your last paragraph...

  install the drivers for XP AHCI as it is started in IDE mode, and then change the AHCI BIOS

  .. have you tried this? What were the results?

  After thinking a bit about this possibility, it may be a good idea to restart in IDE mode after installing the AHCI driver before then stopping and switching to AHCI mode.

  As far as I know there are only two possibilities for the installation of the AHCI driver when installing XP. You dismissed one of them (Setup F6 disk) and you say that the other does not have a bootable system. Maybe you could try to "slipstreaming" once again, in which case the process did not work properly. Where did you get the drivers from making the wake? Was it the same place as the link I posted above? Absence of "slipstreaming" or the purchase of a (cheap) floppy drive, my only suggestion is that I repeated above.

  Finally, can you confirm that it is stop 7B that you get? If not what stop do you receive?

• Windows 7 hangs at the installation screen now

  try to install windows 7 download, gets to the install now screen, but won't go any further. Have tried all disconnection of machine, check disk etc. Nothing seems to change cannot pass through this point.

  Installation may stop if the system cannot copy files. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

  Your Windows installation disc is scratched, smudged, or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth, insert it in the CD or DVD drive, and then start the Windows installation again. If your installation disc is damaged, you may need to replace it. For more information, go to how to replace lost, broken, or missing Microsoft software or hardware on the Microsoft Web site.

  Your CD-ROM or DVD drive is not working properly or the disk might be vibrating too much for the laser correctly read data. For more information about this problem, see your hardware documentation or contact the manufacturer of the CD or DVD drive.

  If your computer has multiple CD or DVD drives, your computer may attempt to locate files on the wrong drive. If your computer has a feature to disable CD or DVD drives that are not used, turn off readers that you don't use. Otherwise, try to insert the disc in a different drive, and then restart the installation.

  This is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

  Wait about 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

  Uninstall all antivirus software, and then restart your computer. Don't forget to enable antivirus software after you install Windows.

  Hello

  ·         You get the error message?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software.

  Hello Tarasinha2,

  You can have a facility pending that hangs. Check the following in the Windows registry to see if there are waiting for the installation/s:
  WARNING: Change the REGISTRY settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
  a. the empty registry key "InProgress".

  Check the following registry key: HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

  and clean all the entries that you find.

  b. empty/rename "PendingFileRenameOperations" registry key:

  Check the following registry key: HKey_Local_MachineSystem\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations

  and clean all the entries that you find.

  Then restart and check if you can re-enable Windows Fax.

  Thank you

• Windows XP hangs at the splash screen, safe mode does not work either

  I've updated my laptop with a windows update and when I went to restart, it crashes just in the start screen.  I tried in safe mode hanging at MUP. SYS and I tried the last known configuration.  So far these options do not work.  I tried Memtest, HDAT2, Ultimate Boot CD tests, chkdsk/p and chkdsk/r, Windows XP, CD recovery and rebuild, tried to start up with each opening of USB port and even tried formatting and installing Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows XP Home Edition SP1.  So far I have always in step 1, where nothing has solved nothing.

  I noticed that there is a thread here where a person has had the same problem and he said that it has updated its BIOS.  For hours, now I did research on how update my BIOS by creating a bootable disc...  I'm thumbs on a mile it looks. Here is a link to the thread with the person who had the same problem. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/XPRepair/thread/2b3f344c-F923-4D84-868d-c0be603e601b

  I've been on the forums of Toms Hardware for more than a week with a little support, but so far, nothing has worked. http://www.TomsHardware.com/Forum/253683-45-wont-load-hangs-splash-screen#t916360

  I could use any help we can on it.  It would be deeply appreciated!  My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  Well I tried to Win 7 on a bootable disc.  I followed a bunch of instructions I found on youtube.com, but for some reason that I could not burn to disc.  Kept getting an error even if I followed every perfect step.

  In any case, I watched my CMOS on compensation, but the battery is soldered on.  I just messed with it a little bit to see if it was lost or anything thing but I didn't rip out and one other solder on because I have never done this before.  So I put everything back together, turned on my laptop and it finally starts up the Windows installation screen.  FINALLY!  Thanks for everyone's help and patience.  I guess the battery has lost... but not quite sure.  I left the laptop off for about 4-5 days before I tried to play with the CMOS this morning.

  Daavee, thanks for your help on this.  I learned all troubleshooting and making the ISO.  Have a good Christmas!
